Sailor Tanaka Ichitarō, from the series Mirror of Army and Navy Heroes
A color woodblock print depicting three men. The central figure, a man with a mustache wearing a white robe, stands on a box. He holds a large brown cylindrical object over his head with one hand. Two men in dark blue sailor-style uniforms with blue collars and red and gold accents assist him. One man stands in front with his back to the viewer, the other to the side. The background shows a body of water and a gray sky. A vertical red banner with Japanese text and a smaller white rectangle with Japanese text are on the left. The print has a light brown border.
