This print shows a man in a dramatic pose, holding a sword in one hand and a banner in the other. His black robe has bright orange and white accents, and his face looks intense. The background is simple—just a fence and a pale sky with faint green plants. The banner he’s holding has Japanese characters, and his stance suggests he’s ready for action. The print uses bold colors and sharp lines to make the scene feel urgent. If you like this style, check out Katsukawa Shunkaku.
