The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print of a man dressed in traditional clothing, specifically as an actor portraying Kisou Takiguchi, identified as the Fifth Ichikawa Danjuro. The man has a distinctive hairstyle with bangs and a bun on top of his head. He wears a kimono with a predominantly red and green diamond pattern, paired with a red undergarment featuring a geometric pattern. A white and red striped fabric is draped over his left shoulder. The man holds a large horn to his mouth with his right hand. A sword with a white and black handle and a gold pommel lies on the ground to his left. The background shows red fabric with a large square design on it, with a tan-colored wall behind. The artist's seal and a small logo are visible in the bottom corners. The entire image has a tan background.
