A man wearing a green kimono with white flowers and a pink undergarment stands with his feet spread widely apart. He has black hair pulled back into two buns on top of his head. His kimono sleeves are folded back, revealing his bare arms. A black garment with white designs hangs over his shoulders. The man stands in front of a tiled wall with a yellow section and a black-framed opening. A railing is on the left. The floor is tiled. Japanese characters are on the bottom. A color gradient ruler is on the right.
