The image depicts a man dressed in traditional Japanese attire, specifically a samurai. He wears a red robe and a beige top with wide sleeves, along with armor-like pieces on his shoulders. His hair is styled in a traditional Japanese manner, with two buns on top of his head. The man holds two swords, one in his right hand and one in his left. The sword in his left hand is sheathed. A long sword protrudes from his back. He appears to be standing in a dynamic pose, with his body angled to the left and his right leg bent. The background features a beige wall with vertical lines at the top, resembling sliding doors or panels. The artist's signature is written vertically on the left side of the image. A red and white wheel design is visible on the man's robe. The overall style of the image suggests it is a woodblock print.
