The First Nakamura Nakazo in the Role of Kanshojo
A Japanese man wearing a traditional robe and hat is depicted in a full-body illustration. He is kneeling on one knee, with his right knee bent and foot tucked under his body, and his left leg folded under him. His right arm is bent at the elbow, with his hand raised to his head, holding a hat or parasol with a wide brim. The hat or parasol has a curved handle and appears to have a red interior. The man wears a long robe with wide sleeves and a sash around his waist. The robe has a flower design on the chest. He has black hair and is wearing a traditional Japanese hairstyle. The background of the image is a solid beige color, with some darker shading around the edges. There is some Japanese text written vertically on the left side of the image.
