A drawing on aged paper depicts a samurai wearing armor. The samurai has a thick mustache and wears a striped haidate, a type of divided skirt, with a patterned tabi on his feet. He wears a shoulder guard on one shoulder and armor on his chest. A sword hangs from his obi. The man holds a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other. Several arrows are secured to his back. A flagpole with a flag and a circular object on top are visible behind him. At the bottom center of the drawing are two seals with Japanese writing. The background of the drawing is a light brown color with some darker brown spots and marks.
