Unidentified Actor (possibly Yoshizawa Ayame) as a Woman with a Sword
A woman stands facing left; she wears a black and white striped kimono with orange lining and a short orange kimono underneath. A sword with a patterned scabbard rests on her right shoulder; her right hand grips the hilt. The woman's left arm is tucked into her kimono. She wears a black hat with a yellow cord. The background shows a wall with a patterned wallpaper section above; four white flowers are on the top section and two on the section below. A low wall runs across the image behind the woman.
