This print shows a man in bright, patterned robes, holding a fan and a sword. His face is serious, with bold makeup and a wig. The clothes are mostly black and white but have splashes of red, blue, and yellow. The background is plain, so all the focus is on him. The text on the print is Japanese, naming the actor and the character he plays. This was made as a poster for a theater performance.
