A hanging scroll in black ink on tan paper depicts Tenjin, an older man facing slightly right. He is enveloped in voluminous robes rendered in bold, sweeping brushstrokes and wears a rounded dark cap. Tenjin has a light skin tone, a long mustache, and a thin beard reaching his chest. Vertical columns of Japanese calligraphy occupy the upper half, with two small red seals on the left. The figure stands against a neutral background.
