Actor Sakata Hongoro II as a Wrestler in a Play

The image depicts a man with a large build and a serious expression. He has black hair pulled back into a low ponytail with two small hairpins on top. He is wearing a traditional Japanese loincloth called a "fundoshi" and a brown "maekake" or "oban" apron over it. The apron is wrapped around his waist and has a floral design on it. He is barefoot and standing on a gray surface. The man is holding a large sword with both hands. The sword has a long blade and a curved guard. The man's arms are muscular, and his hands are gripping the sword tightly. The man appears to be in motion, as if he is about to attack or move quickly. There are Japanese characters written vertically on the right side of the image and a small red seal at the bottom. The background of the image is a light beige color, with some darker shading around the edges.
