Few small washi repaired tears two old repaired tears on the reverse some occasional browning particularly at centre fold light staining upper margin intruding a little into the printed image. Overall an attractive copy. Scarce. Lieutenant Colonel Fukushima Yasumasa 1852 – 1919 undertook a remarkable solo horseback expedition across Eurasia in 1892. Starting in Poland he traversed Russia and Siberia on his journey. Stationed in Berlin as a military attaché in 1887 he was tasked with researching the Trans-Siberian Railway under construction by Russia. His successful expedition was followed by further explorations in India and the Balkan Peninsula. This sheet divided into 24 illustrated panels narrates Fukushima's story from his youth to his triumphant return after the expedition. Filled with adventure the story depicts his encounters with both danger and excitement. The narrative unfolds in a clockwise direction starting from the bottom right corner similar to a sugoroku game which this may be but it is uncertain. The central panel featuring a newly erected statue represents the final goal of his journey. Each panel is accompanied by a caption that furthers the story. . 福井榮之助. [Fukui Einosuke]. unknown
