The samurai wears a samurai armor with a predominantly red and gold color scheme. The armor consists of multiple layers, a helmet with a large crest, and a face plate. He rides with his right leg forward. He holds a bow in his left hand and a quiver full of arrows on his back. The background features a body of water with small waves crashing on the shore. The sky is orange with a dark blue sea and an island visible in the distance. A tree is on the right side. The ground is green with small plants and beige rocky areas. A large beige area covers the bottom foreground.
