The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print of a man dressed as an itinerant peddler. He wears a white head covering, and a kimono with a floral pattern featuring shades of orange, yellow, and green. Over the kimono, he has a long, off-white robe with a geometric pattern and orange and yellow trim. The robe is tied with a brown belt. He has white socks and sandals on his feet. The man carries a long pipe in his right hand and has a large pack on his back, secured with straps. The pack features a red and gold design. He stands on a yellow surface, with what appears to be a body of water and grassy bank behind him. The background is beige. There is Japanese writing in black ink on the bottom right.
