Two vertical panels, a diptych, with a beige background. A man and a woman are depicted, each on a separate panel. The left panel shows a man with black hair, wearing an orange garment, a beige and white checkered robe over his left shoulder. A black and white sash around his waist. He stands on one leg and holds a long sword with both hands raised over his head. The right panel depicts a woman with long dark hair, wearing a pink kimono with white and black designs and a pink undergarment. She holds a short sword in her right hand. A bowl with chopsticks protruding is on the ground beside her. The background of both panels features a grassy hill on the left, with a small tree, and a black sky. A bird flies over the woman's head.
