The robe has an orange and white striped pattern on the sleeves and a square orange design on the chest. A beige sash wraps around his waist. His hair is black and slicked back, revealing a small patch of forehead. The man holds a bow in his left hand and a quiver full of arrows on his back. He stands on green grass. There are plants behind him on the left. A large tree stump is on the left edge. The background is beige. Japanese characters appear on the right side and bottom right.
