A vertically oriented woodblock print depicts Kimon no Kihei, a man with light skin tone and a dark topknot. He faces right with a furrowed brow, wearing a checkered brown garment and blue and white dotted scarf. A vertical sword blade and horizontal wooden bar cross in the foreground. Behind the blade, his left hand is raised, palm facing outward. Japanese calligraphy appears across the dark gray background, while his right hand clutches his robe.
