This print shows a man in a dramatic pose, dressed in a long robe with bold patterns. He holds a fan and a sword, looking serious with a scowl. His outfit has swirling designs and a small pouch at his side. The background is simple, focusing all attention on him. The artist used flat colors and clear lines to make the figure stand out. Next, look up Katsukawa Shunshō to see more of his work.
