A vertical hanging scroll depicts Minamoto no Yoshitsune, a person with light skin tone, seated on a folding chair. Facing our left, Yoshitsune wears elaborate red-orange armor over multicolored patterned sleeves and a helmet with large golden horns. A quiver of white-feathered arrows rests on his back, and a sword hangs at his waist. He gazes downward within a muted, brown rectangle, framed by a thin, dark, patterned border.
