Ogata Gekko gekko portrait War Triptychs

These are the known Sino-Japanese War Triptychs. Close examination will reveal that there appear to be 3 or more series within this category and various publishers were involved including Sekiguchi Masajiro,Tamura Tamekichi and Takegawa Risaburo. I have followed the numbering system used on the original Ogatagekko.com site here to ensure accurate cross referencing with the page on Gekko's seals (The exception to this is triptych 29 which was not shown on the original website) rather than try and group the prints according to series and publisher. It should also be noted that number 27 is actually a Quadruptych although it was shown as a tryptych without the left hand panel on the original Ogatagekko.com site. The titles given in English are loose translations of the event/s depicted.
