Banzuiin Chōbei, from the series Story of Brocades of the East in the Floating World (Azuma no hana ukiyo kōdan - Banzuiin Chōbei)
A Japanese man wearing a white kimono with pink flowers sits on a brown surface with his right leg stretched out. He has dark hair and is covered in blood, with blood splattered on the surface below him. His right hand holds a brown object to his mouth, and his left hand is on the surface. A sword with a green handle sits to his left. A scroll with writing on it hangs in the air behind him, and another scroll with writing is on the right. Two red banners with writing are on either side. Smoke rises from the top-left corner. The background includes brown panels and a dark area at the top.
