Nitei was an artist with links to woodblock war prints, particularly in the context of the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905). Specific works attributed to Nitei include a print titled “Port Arthur” (1904) and one depicting the “Harbor of Inchon”. 
The popularity of war prints during this period is highlighted by the fact that artists who had previously distinguished themselves during the Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895) also contributed to the Russo-Japanese War prints (1904-1905). These prints served as visual documentation and possibly propaganda during these conflicts.
