Two vertical, rectangular panels side by side, depicting two men in traditional Japanese clothing. The man on the left wears a kimono with a red and blue design featuring orange circles. The kimono has a long train and a sash at the waist. He has a traditional Japanese hat on his head. He faces right and stands beside a tree with sparse leaves. The man on the right wears a kimono with a colorful floral design. The kimono is open at the front, revealing an orange under-kimono. He wears a hairstyle with a portion of hair pulled back and secured. He faces left, looking down and holds a pipe or similar object in the left hand. The background of both panels is beige with a brown section at the bottom. Branches with sparse leaves hang from the top. Japanese characters are written vertically near the bottom of each panel.
