This is a full-length portrait of a man, most likelya janitor. The man sits in a wooden chair wearing sandals, a cloth headband, and a coat—on the lapels of which are written "Anuraya," most likely the name of the business where he works. Judging from the plain cloth backdrop, the setting is a "shajo," a portable outdoor studio. 1 |
