Long, narrow brown artwork with a man wearing samurai armor on the left and two people on the bottom right. The man on the left wears a samurai helmet with a decorative fin on top. He also wears a brown and grey chest plate, a brown skirt type piece and greaves on his legs. A sword hangs from his left side. Two people are on the bottom right; one wears red clothing and squats down while touching the ground, the other kneels upright on the right; they both have their backs to the viewer. A signature appears on the bottom right in black ink. The background of the artwork depicts a light surface.
