content: A color woodblock print showing a Chinese official smoking opium surrounded by Frecnh battle ships in the bay and armed troops on the shore. Included also in the scene are figures of Westerners and a commentary inscription reflecting the Japanese appraisal of the Sino-French war. There is a play on the term sim-butsu (God or Buddha) or Shim-Butsu (Sino-French).
