The image depicts two men in traditional Japanese clothing. The man in the foreground sits on the floor with his back against a low table or stool, wearing a kimono with a salmon-colored top and a brown patterned skirt. He looks to the right. The man behind him stands, wearing a white kimono with orange and brown designs on the hem and a black and orange hat. He holds a sword in his right hand and rests his left hand on a brown object on his hip. The background features a beige floor and wall with vertical brown stripes. A tassel hangs from the wall. Japanese characters are written vertically on the left side.
