This print showcases General Oku Yasukata of Japan, a prominent figure in Japanese military history. The image captures the essence of his leadership and authority, as he stands tall in his military uniform. General Oku Yasukata (1847-1930) was a renowned commander who played pivotal roles in two significant conflicts: the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-5) and the Russo-Japanese War (1904-5). Both wars were successful endeavors for Japan, solidifying its position as an emerging colonial power. The German caption on this postcard refers to him as "Fuhrer der japanischen Weitarmee" which translates to "leader of the Japanese Army". This title aptly reflects his influential role within the armed forces during this period.

His command over the army enabled successful colonization efforts that shaped Japan's standing on both regional and global scales. This portrait not only captures General Oku's military persona but also offers a glimpse into turn-of-the-century politics. It serves as a reminder of how politicians like him influenced government decisions during times of war. Through their actions, they left an indelible mark on world history.
