Two men in traditional Japanese clothing, specifically kimonos, are depicted in a dynamic pose. The man on the left wears a beige kimono with red and gold accents, while the man on the right wears a green kimono with a pink and white floral patterned under-kimono. Both men have black hair styled in a traditional Japanese topknot and are barefoot. They are engaged in a physical struggle, with both men holding a long wooden pole or staff, with their arms bent. The man on the left appears to be pulling the staff towards himself, while the man on the right appears to be pushing it away. The background is a mottled beige color.
