The "War Painting," had a propaganda purpose - to win and maintain the support of the mass - and so the content was intended to increase support for the Japanese army and its actions.
Kiyochika (1847 - 1915) was called "Hiroshige in Meiji" and was one of the most famous Ukiyo-e artists in Meiji-Era.
