Sino-Japanese War caricature: patient in bed dreams of advancing army

A colour woodcut shows a man in a bed with an ice pack on his head, mouth open in alarm, as a dreamlike procession of Japanese soldiers with a cannon advances across the sheets. Below, uniformed officers with swords and figures in blue garments move across a dark floor beside a table holding a bottle and a glass.
