"Captain Kani Ichita, from the Series ‘Mirror of Famous Army and Navy Men’" is a woodblock print created by the Japanese artist Kobayashi Kiyochika. This artwork is part of a larger series titled Mirror of Famous Army and Navy Men (Rikukaigun meiyū kagami), which was produced during the late 19th century. The series celebrates notable figures from Japan's military forces, reflecting the growing nationalism and militarization of the Meiji era (1868–1912).

Kobayashi Kiyochika (1847–1915) was a prominent ukiyo-e artist known for his innovative approach to traditional woodblock printing. He is often recognized for his works that depict modernity and the transformation of Japan during the Meiji Restoration. In this series, Kiyochika portrays military leaders and heroes who played significant roles in Japan's military campaigns, particularly during conflicts such as the First Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895).

The print featuring Captain Kani Ichita highlights the artist's skill in combining traditional Japanese artistic techniques with Western influences, such as the use of shading and perspective. While specific details about Captain Kani Ichita's life and military career are not widely documented, his inclusion in the series suggests that he was regarded as a figure of importance or valor within the Japanese military at the time.

The Mirror of Famous Army and Navy Men series was likely intended to inspire patriotism and admiration for Japan's military achievements. It reflects the broader cultural and political trends of the Meiji period, during which Japan sought to modernize its military and assert itself as a global power.

Further historical context about Captain Kani Ichita's role or achievements remains limited, as detailed records about him are scarce. The artwork, however, serves as a testament to the era's focus on celebrating military figures and the contributions of individuals to Japan's national identity.
