The image is a black and white illustration of a man riding on the back of a leopard. The man is wearing a traditional Japanese outfit with a long robe and a hat with a feather on top. He is holding a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left hand. The leopard is lying on its side with its head resting on the man's back. The background is filled with bamboo trees and there is a banner with Chinese characters on it. The illustration appears to be hand-drawn and has a sketch-like quality to it.
