Japanese woodblock print of a man in traditional dress. The man has black hair styled up, with a long black coat over a blue kimono. He stands on a concrete surface overlooking a grassy area and another building. He looks down and to the right with a look on his face. A yellow and white hot air balloon-like object with Japanese characters floats above the man's head on the left. A tree is behind on the left, and there are rays behind the man emanating from a red sun on the right. Pieces of debris are floating through the air. The background includes a blue sky at the top.
