The man has a sword at his side and grasps another sword with both hands. His hair is styled in a traditional Japanese manner, with black streaks on his cheeks. He stands in front of a tan background with thin black lines. A tan border surrounds the background, with a thicker yellow line across the top. The border features various designs. To the left of the main figure, two smaller people are partially visible. The one on the left wears a checkered kimono and appears to hold a bow and arrows.
