The Fourth Matsumoto Koshiro as an Otokodate Standing
The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print of a man in traditional clothing. The man is standing, facing left, with his right hand raised to his chin. He wears a green, orange, and gray striped robe with a red lining and a patterned sash around his waist. A sword is sheathed on his back, with the scabbard visible over his right shoulder and the hilt visible near his left hip. He has black hair, styled in a traditional Japanese topknot, and wears geta-style wooden sandals. The background is a plain beige color above a tan floor. The artist's signature is written vertically on the left edge of the print. The overall style and composition suggest a ukiyo-e woodblock print from the Edo period.
