The image depicts a man standing on a beach, wearing a red loincloth and a brown sash around his waist. The man has a receding hairline and is barefoot. He holds a long wooden pole in his right hand, with his arm extended out to the side. His left hand is on his abdomen, and his left leg is bent at the knee. The background features a dark sky and waves crashing on the shore. The image includes Japanese text written vertically along the right edge. The man is the main focus, taking up most of the space. He appears to be in motion, possibly running or dancing. The overall composition suggests a dynamic scene with the man as the central figure.
