A Japanese woodblock print depicts a man with a stern expression. The man has black hair pulled back into a bun, with two thin white bands wrapped around it. He wears a traditional Japanese garment with a red sash over the shoulder and chest, and a black portion with white and gray skeletal designs on the shoulder and arm. The garment's collar is white with rows of black and gray dots. Two white skulls with black eye sockets are visible on the garment's shoulder. The background is beige with Japanese writing in black ink. A red seal stamp is in the upper right corner.
