This print shows a man in a brightly colored robe with bold patterns. His outfit has black, orange, and white designs, including flowers and waves. He holds a fan in one hand and has a sword tucked into his belt. The writing on the paper looks like Japanese poetry or notes, often added by artists. This style was used for portraits of performers, not just regular people. Next, check out actor portraits from the same era to see how they differ.
