Artist, Japanese, born 1948

The image shows the upper half of a man's body. He is standing, slightly angled with hands behind his back, looking slightly upwards or into the distance. He has striking facial features with a strong jawline, high cheekbones, and a thoughtful expression. His medium-length hair is smooth with a slight wave, parted down the middle. He is wearing a dark coat with quilted detailing around the collar and toggle closures down the front, and a patterned ascot or cravat at his neck. The background is plain and dark.
