Utagawa Toyokuni

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a man sitting on the floor. He wears a brown robe with a white crisscross pattern and a brown robe with vertical stripes underneath. A black sash crosses his chest. He holds a sword with a yellow and white handle and a white and brown scabbard. The man wears a headband, with two black sections on top. He sits cross-legged, with his head tilted back. A red item lies on the ground to his left. The background is beige, with Japanese characters written vertically on the left and in a rectangle on the right. Some characters are in red ink with an 'X' marked through them.
