A man dressed as a woman stands on a wooden floor, wearing a kimono with a peach, green, and brown color scheme and a floral pattern on the hem. The character's hair is styled in an updo, and they wear a headpiece. Their body faces left, while their head turns right. The kimono has a wide, curved sleeve on one arm and a narrower one on the other. A green obi is wrapped around the character's waist. The background features a beige wall with a large gray circular design on the left. A tree branch and a stone or rock formation with a black circle resembling an eye are on the right. Small black Japanese characters are written vertically on the left side.
