Cleveland Museum of Art

Two men dressed in traditional Japanese clothing are engaged in a fierce battle on a stone roof. The man on the right wears a blue robe with a red lining and green patterned pants. He holds a sword in his right hand and a long pole in his left. The man on the left wears a blue and red robe with a patterned design. He is bent over and appears to be attacking the man on the right. Both men wear hakama pants with a red and white circular pattern. The roof they are on overlooks a body of water with a green hill on the opposite shore. The sky is blue with white clouds. There are two text boxes in the upper corners with Japanese text written on them.
