Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white woodblock print of a man in a dynamic pose, with his legs wide apart and arms extended. The man wears a black yukata with a white pattern. He appears to be in mid-stride or mid-swing. A red undergarment is visible above his right hip. He has a tattoo on the inside of his right forearm. He holds a sword in his right hand. The man has a blue chin strap and a black topknot. He is barefoot. Behind him to the left is a large bundle of straw. The background shows green foliage on the right and hanging green leaves across the top. The ground appears to be light green with some grass-like plants. There are several Japanese characters written in black ink at the bottom of the print. One character is in a box, and there are several smaller characters to the left. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of black, white, green, and red.
