A man wearing a kimono with a geometric and floral pattern, standing with a sword at his side. His kimono is orange and brown with geometric patterns on the top half and a cream and brown floral pattern on the bottom half. He has black hair pulled back with a white streak. He appears to be pulling a rope or object with his right arm. There are cherry blossoms on a branch above him. The background includes a body of water and a low wall.
