The image depicts Ebisu, a Japanese deity. The artwork shows a man with a white face, wearing a black hat, a green top with red and gold trim, and brown pants. He holds a staff in his right hand, with several long, thin, black objects on top, possibly leaves or branches. His left arm is bent at the elbow, with the hand near his body. The man sits on a brown object with a long, thin tail extending from the bottom. The bottom of the image features several curved, dark gray lines, possibly representing waves. The background of the image is beige with a texture resembling aged paper. A thin orange border surrounds the entire image.
