This woodblock print shows a man in a kimono standing by a table. He's holding a round object, maybe a fan, and looking up. The kimono has a pattern of spirals and fans. The background is a light color with Japanese writing. The man's kimono is very detailed, with different patterns and colors. The table behind him has some Japanese writing on it too.
