Two actors, from the series Musical Program of True Love (Ongyoku hiyoku no bangumi) 音曲比翼の番組
Two men in traditional Japanese clothing, kimonos, are depicted. One man sits on the floor, looking into a handheld mirror on a stand; the other stands over him, resting on one hand with their head on their hand, looking down. The background is a muted color with Japanese writing. The seated man wears a kimono with a dark lining; the standing man wears a solid-colored kimono. The men have black hair. The image appears to be a traditional Japanese woodblock print.
