The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print of a man in traditional clothing. The man wears a long robe with a floral pattern, and a sash around his waist. His hair is styled in a traditional Japanese fashion, with a portion pulled back and secured. He holds a sword at his side and a closed fan in his left hand, which is tucked under his arm. The fan has a design on it. The background is a plain beige color, with a darker line running horizontally across the middle. The floor appears to be tatami, with a darker border. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of beige, brown, and black. The man is positioned in profile, facing left.
