The image depicts a Japanese-style woodblock print of a man in traditional clothing. The man wears a yellow kimono with a black, gray, orange, and red design; a black, gray, orange, and red sash; and a black and orange undergarment. The kimono has a patterned design on the sleeves and body. The man also wears a black headpiece, and his hair is styled with a small topknot. He holds a flageolet in his left hand and a basket-like hat in his right hand. The man appears to be standing on a road or path; a small plant grows to his left. Behind him, there are three rows of thatched roofs; the sky above is gray. The print has a beige background with a rough texture.
