The First Nakamura Nakazo as an Unarmed Man Standing in a Dramatic Pose
The image depicts a man with long black hair, wearing a traditional Japanese garment. The garment is primarily white with black spots and has a red sash around the waist; it also has beige and white stripes on the skirt portion. The man is barefoot and has a red marking on each cheek. He appears to be standing in a dramatic pose, leaning forward slightly. He stands on a brown surface, with a branch featuring pink blossoms and thin brown sticks to his right. A fence constructed of vertical brown sticks is behind the sticks. The background is a light beige color with darker spots. There is Japanese text written vertically on the right side of the image.
