The man on the right wears a blue and white robe with a red sash; he holds a sword in both hands above his head. Behind the men is a grassy area with a large bundle of straw on the left and a tree trunk on the right. The background features a gray sky with rain falling. Japanese characters are written vertically on the bottom left and right of the image. A red structure is partially visible on the right side. The image depicts a dramatic scene with dynamic poses and muted colors.
