DescriptionThe image is an ink drawing of a male figure kneeling. He is dressed in traditional Asian samurai robes and wears his hair in a bun with the top of his head shaved. A long samurai sword is tucked underneath the figure's proper left arm and he faces the right support. The thin rice paper on which the image is drawn is oddly shaped and very discolored.On View
