The image depicts a Japanese man wearing a traditional outfit. He is wearing a long robe with a black and white geometric pattern and an orange and yellow border. Over the robe, he has a red shawl draped around his shoulders. Underneath, he has a white scarf wrapped around his neck with orange and yellow accents. His hair is pulled back and styled in a traditional Japanese manner. He is standing on a yellow surface, possibly representing sand or a floor. In the background, there are some simple drawings of hills and a body of water with small waves. The entire image has a beige background with darker edges, suggesting it may be an aged piece of artwork. The man is holding his right arm bent at the elbow, with his hand near his stomach, and his left arm is not visible but he holds a sword at his side. The overall impression is that of a traditional Japanese woodblock print.
