The left sheet features a male actor dressed in a traditional samurai outfit with a sword on his left side and another object in his right hand. The outfit consists of a blue top with gold patterns, a red neck scarf, a brown fur-trimmed cape, and brown and green leg wear. His hair is styled in a traditional topknot. The right sheet is blank except for several lines of Japanese text written vertically on the right side. A strip of paper with Japanese writing is on the top middle. The background of both sheets is beige with a black border.
