A Japanese woodblock print depicts two men in traditional clothing. The man on the left wears a blue robe with a black undergarment, while the man on the right wears a pink robe with green striped undergarment. The man on the left holds a long stick or sword and appears to be in a dynamic pose, possibly in the act of striking. The man on the right is on one knee, leaning over something on the ground. In the background, there are trees, a multi-tiered stone lantern, and a body of water. A large scroll with Japanese writing hangs on the right. The scene is framed by a decorative border.
