The image depicts a man dressed as a woman. He wears a traditional Japanese kimono with a floral pattern in shades of gold, white, and black. The kimono has a large circular emblem on the shoulder. A matching wide-brimmed hat adorns his head, decorated with flowers and a braided cord. He holds a long sword at his side. His facial features include a mustache and a teardrop-shaped mark under his eye. The background of the image is a light brown color with darker brown spots. The overall style of the image suggests it is a traditional Japanese woodblock print.
