The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print of a man dressed as a woman. The man has black hair styled in an updo with a brown headpiece. He wears a traditional Japanese garment with a brown base color and gold and black designs. The garment has a round emblem on the left sleeve. He appears to be looking down and to the left. The background of the print is beige, with a semicircular shape around the man. There is Japanese text on the left side of the print. The overall style of the print suggests it is a traditional Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print.
