A Japanese woodblock print depicts a standing samurai. The samurai wears a patterned kimono with a repeating diamond design in brown on a cream background. A gray section on the kimono has a red border and a red and gold crest. A red under-kimonono shows at the neck and sleeves. The samurai's hair is styled in a queue. The samurai holds two swords at his side. The one on the right is secured in its scabbard. The print's background is beige. Black Japanese characters are printed on the left. A color gradient scale appears on the left side.
