The left print features a prominent bearded male figure identified as “辰川左近勝政” (Tatsukawa Sakon Katsumasa), in elaborate patterned robes, pointing forward, accompanied by two smaller figures. The right print portrays a standing male figure holding a sword, identified as “大中宮兵衛重治” (Ōnakamiya Hyōe Shigeharu), depicted within an interior setting. Each print is signed “一勇斎國芳画” (Ichiyūsai Kuniyoshi ga) and includes publisher’s and censor seals.
