Two men in traditional Japanese clothing, kimonos, standing indoors. The man on the left wears a gray kimono with an orange sash; his hair is thinning on top with a distinctive mohawk-style tuft. He faces right, head bowed. The man on the right wears a tan kimono with a yellow sash featuring a pink and purple floral pattern; his kimono's skirt also has a pink and purple floral design. He wears a black and gold headpiece. They are in a room with a shoji screen, a shelf with objects, and a tatami mat floor with a low table. The men's posture suggests a conversation.
