A young man wearing a long, brown, red, and green robe is kneeling in a room playing a Japanese drum. The drum is held by a strap in his left hand and he is hitting it with a stick in his right hand. A second drum rests on the ground in front of him. A box sits next to the drum on the floor. He has a comb in his hair and is looking down at the drum. To the right of the man is a low table on which a potted plant with pink flowers rests. On the wall above the table is a hanging scroll of a bird on a tree branch. To the left is an open sliding door showing a garden with tall grasses. A gray scale is on the right. The print is in muted earth tones with some brighter red and pink.
