A man with dark hair and a bare torso, wearing a blue and green plaid cloth wrapped around his waist and a blue and red striped cloth on his back, holds two swords. He stands barefoot on a yellow surface, in front of a beige fence with a plant on top, with a gray background featuring dark vertical lines. Japanese characters are in the bottom-right corner.
