The image depicts a man in a black robe holding a long, white scroll. He is balding with a receding hairline and has a thick, white mustache.

His right arm is bent at the elbow, and his left arm is extended outward, holding the scroll. There are two people in the background. One person wears a blue garment and has their back to the viewer. Another person, mostly obscured, wears a black hat and a black garment. The background of the image is yellow-orange. There is Japanese text written vertically on the left and right sides of the image.
