"Chinski Admiral Ding Ruchang Popelniajacy Samobojstwo" (Chinese Admiral Ding Ruchang Committing Suicide) is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Mizuno Toshikata, created in the late 19th century. Toshikata, who lived from 1866 to 1908, was an ukiyo-e artist and a student of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, one of the last great masters of that traditional Japanese art form. The print is part of the genre known as senso-e (war prints), which depicts scenes from contemporary military conflicts.

This particular print captures a dramatic and tragic moment from the First Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895), which was fought primarily over control of Korea between the Qing dynasty of China and the Empire of Japan. Admiral Ding Ruchang was a commander in the Beiyang Fleet, the main naval force of the Qing dynasty, and played a significant role in the naval battles during the war. Following the disastrous Battle of Weihaiwei, where Japanese forces captured the Weihaiwei fortifications and the remnants of the Beiyang Fleet, Ding Ruchang chose to commit suicide rather than surrender.

Mizuno Toshikata's work reflects the Japanese perspective of the war and is part of a broader cultural phenomenon where artists produced patriotic imagery to bolster national morale and support for the war effort. The print is characterized by Toshikata's attention to detail and the emotional intensity of the scene. It serves as a historical document of the era's attitudes and an example of the Meiji period's artistic trends, where Japanese artists were increasingly exposed to Western influences and techniques while still maintaining traditional Japanese woodblock printing methods.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic value but also for its historical context, providing insight into the Japanese narrative of the First Sino-Japanese War and the portrayal of its adversaries. It stands as a testament to the complex relationship between Japan and China during this period and the ways in which art was used to influence public perception and sentiment during times of conflict.
