Description

A barefoot man in a dark indigo robe with pale floral crests stands in three-quarter view, glancing back over his shoulder with a stern expression; his robe is pulled open at the chest, and a sword and mallet-like implement are tucked into a striped sash at his waist. He stands beside a large reddish-brown wooden beam or timber, with a quiver of white-and-blue fletched arrows lying on the green ground before him, against a cream background dense with columns of Japanese text and a red title cartouche. Mizushima Umon by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock print), year unknown.
