Onodera Koemon Hidetomi

A single samurai figure crouches in profile against a bare interior of grey wooden beams and floorboards, gripping a short blade in both hands as he presses it toward his own bared leg, teeth bared in effort or pain. He wears a dark outer robe over a blue kimono patterned with pale floral roundels, cinched with a checked sash, with two long swords thrust through his belt and their scabbards trailing behind him; a straw sandal covers one foot while the other leg is exposed. A cloth-wrapped bucket sits at his feet, and a vertical cartouche with Japanese text occupies the upper right against the print's muted tan, grey, and indigo palette — Ogata Gekko's 1902 woodblock print "Onodera Koemon Hidetomi."
