A man with a long black ponytail and a faded indigo coat stands in profile facing left, one hand resting on the hilt of a sheathed sword at his hip while the other holds the scabbard. He has a short beard and a calm, focused expression. Cherry blossom petals blow past him from right to left. Behind him, a stone lantern and a red gate are faint in the fog. Soft white morning light outlines his nose and the line of his shoulder. The picture is framed from the waist up. The mood is still, disciplined, and alert.
