A man in a long green robe stands with one hand on his hip and the other holding a curved sword. His black hair is long, and his face has a serious, almost angry look. The robe has colorful patterns near his chest, and his feet are bare. Behind him is a wooden fence with slats. This print shows an actor dressed as an elderly samurai, not a real warrior. The artist used bold colors and sharp lines to make the figure stand out. Look up Katsukawa Shunshō to see more prints like this one.
