This print shows a man and woman standing side by side. The man wears a dark military coat with bright blue sash and gold buttons, holding a cane. The woman has a striped skirt, a red shawl, and a blue headscarf. Both look serious, with Japanese text around them. The print mixes bold colors with simple shapes, almost like a sketch. The background is plain, putting focus on their clothes and faces. Look up Utagawa Yoshiiku to see more prints like this.
