This print shows two men dressed in old-fashioned robes and hats. The man on the left holds a long stick and wears a dark, patterned sash. The one on the right sits with a fan and a red-and-black patterned robe, looking down. Both have long white beards and serious expressions. The background is plain, but the men’s clothes are bright—reds, greens, and blues with bold designs. The artist used sharp lines and simple colors, like a sketch brought to life. Look up Totoya Hokkei to see more of his work.
