A Japanese samurai wearing a black jacket with fur trim and a green, blue and purple kimono with sunburst designs. He wears a topknot and holds a sword. He appears to have been fighting and is looking down at the severed pink head of a giant bird. The head has one large eye and sharp teeth. A black bird-like creature looms behind the samurai, who stands on a beige background. There are Japanese characters written vertically on red rectangles on either side. A smaller rectangle in the top right depicts a landscape.
