A print depicting a man in traditional Japanese clothing, wearing a striped robe with brown, red, and white colors and green patterned pants. He has a white head covering and appears to be barefoot. His right leg is bent and raised behind him, while his arms are bent and positioned across his body. He is standing in front of a background with a tree featuring white blossoms and a gradient transitioning from dark gray at the top to beige at the bottom. There are Japanese characters written vertically on the left side and two stamps, one red and one black, are present. The print is by Utagawa Kuniyoshi.
