War Painting of Japan during the Russo-Japanese War are divided into two groups which are depicted the scene of front, and the scene of the rear. The first group is consisted of paintings by painters followed the army and paintings by only imagination. In the first time of the war there were almost war paintings of imagination, the works became printed in the magazine,『Records of Russo-Japanese War日露戦争実記(Nichiro-senso-jikki)or 『New Report of Fine Art美術新報(Bijutsu-sinpo) as the activity by the painters followed the army were increased. Almost of the war paintings which were painted during the Russo-Japanese War were based on the nationalism of Japan and ideology of the Emperor system. In their paintings patriotism were impressed and the war dead were painted as heros and they never expressed the character of the war as invasion war. There were really rare cases reflected the humanism by painting the surviving family such as Isii Hakutei石井柏亭 and Kobayashi Senko小林千古 and painting the war with sceptic view like Kosugi Misei小杉未醒.
