This print shows a man in a bright, patterned robe with green and gold designs. He’s holding a long sword in one hand and a fan in the other, standing confidently. His face is serious, and his hair is pulled back neatly. The robe’s patterns look like they’re made with careful brushstrokes, almost like stitching. The writing around him is Japanese, but it’s not clear what it says. If you like this style, check out Torii Kiyonobu I.
