The image depicts a print of two men; one appears to represent Russia and the other appears to represent Japan, with Japan kicking Russia. The Japanese man wears a military-style hat and uniform, and rides a brown dog. The Russian man wears a naval uniform and a white hat with a red band. He holds a flag with a red background and a black sun or moon symbol. A green and blue banner with black Japanese characters runs vertically along the top right. A block of black Japanese text appears at the top. The background is a light-brown color.
