Detailed Description
The central rectangular depiction shows a standing figure on the left, appearing to be a woman, holding a long sword with both hands, its blade pointing downwards. She wears a patterned kimono in shades of brown, purple, and gold, with a dark striped skirt. Her hair is styled upwards. To her right, a man kneels on the light-colored floor, facing her. He is bare-chested, wearing a blue patterned garment over his shoulders and a red loincloth. A dark sword is visible at his waist, with a checkered hilt. His left hand is on the woman's arm, and his right hand is near his own sword. He has a bald head with some hair at the back. The room features light-colored walls and screens. To the far left, a dark wooden stump or block with a circular indentation on top sits on the floor. In the background, a screen with a textured, possibly carved, design of a tree branch is visible. Further right, a red-leafed tree branch extends from behind a vertical screen. A small vase with red flowers is on a stand in the upper left corner. The central scene is bordered by a light brown and gold checkered pattern. This is further surrounded by a wider dark blue border with a repeating pattern of gold dragons and clouds. In the lower right corner of the central scene, there is vertical text written in black characters that reads "春川七丈大日如来画".
