The sword stand is on the left, has a red base and a green and white patterned top, with a red curtain on each side. A small white and red object lies on the floor in front of the sword stand. The background of the image is off-white and features Japanese writing in black ink. The writing is arranged vertically along the left side and scattered in other areas. The overall style of the image suggests it is a traditional Japanese artwork.
