Two men in traditional Japanese clothing are engaged in a fierce battle on a boat. The man on the left wears a blue robe with gold designs and holds a sword in his right hand. He appears to be leaning backward, with his left arm extended. The man on the right wears a blue robe with white polka dots and holds a long pole with a spiked ball on the end in his right hand. He appears to be leaning forward, with his left arm extended. Both men wear green pants with a circular pattern. A third man, dressed in a red and white robe with a green sash, and green pants, is on his knees on the boat, holding a long pole. A body of water and hills are visible in the background. A blue sky with white clouds is above. A green-bordered box with Japanese writing is in the top right corner.
