A Japanese woodblock print depicts a man standing and another kneeling. The standing man wears a kimono with a yellow and white patterned robe over it; the robe reaches to his ankles. His kimono has a design of orange undertones with a blue flower on the right side. A sword sheath is visible on his back. He has a traditional Japanese hairstyle. The kneeling man, on the left, wears a simpler kimono and has his hair styled in a topknot. The background includes a curtain with several folds; it is beige and hangs from the upper left corner. The color palette consists mainly of shades of beige, yellow, orange, blue, and black. The image shows Japanese characters written vertically on the left side.
