Two Japanese people occupy a minimal stage, one stands holding a sword to the floor, the other sits lower right.

The man on the left stands with legs apart, his arm is out of the kimono holding a sword against the floor. His other arm is raised inside the kimono sleeve as he faces the seated person on the right. He wears a thin flowing headband with long straight black hair that follows the curve of the shoulder. The person seated on the floor holds a small fan and has a cloth tied around their forehead that flows to the shoulders, robes flowing over the figure. A window on the right side reveals a pine treetop.
