The Actor Ichikawa Omezō I as the Young Daimyo Momonoi Wakasanosuke
The image depicts a Japanese man dressed in traditional clothing, specifically a kimono. The kimono is primarily green with a lighter-colored undergarment visible at the neckline and a patterned section around the waist area. The man has a distinctive hairstyle with a black topknot and a shaved forehead. His facial features include rosy cheeks and a serious expression as he looks to his right. He holds a sword in both hands, positioned across his body with the blade pointing downwards to the right side. The sword's hilt and scabbard are gold-colored. The man stands on a floor or ground that appears to be covered with a beige or light-brown fabric or rug. The background of the image is a plain beige color with some darker marks or stains scattered throughout. There are also some Japanese characters written vertically on the left side of the image.
