The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print, characterized by its rich color and stylized line work. It portrays a dynamic and dramatic scene in which two figures appear to be engaged in a fierce battle. The central figure is a warrior clad in vibrant blue and patterned samurai armor, complete with intricate detailing on the garments. The warrior's face is contorted in a grimace, suggesting the intensity of the moment.

Engaged with the warrior is a striking mythical creature with a large, red, fleshy body, and it seems to embody an expression of aggression or rage. If this creature is an 'oni' (a kind of ogre or troll in Japanese folklore), it would imply a scene of a samurai battling a fearsome mythical being, which is a common theme in traditional Japanese art. The creature's fierce facial features, including prominent eyes and teeth, enhance the ominous feel of the confrontation.

Splashes of dark ink may represent blood or the tumultuous environment in which the struggle is occurring. The backdrop and ground seem abstract and fragmented, contributing to the chaotic atmosphere of the confrontation. Below the figures is a rectangular cartouche likely containing Japanese text which might explain the context or title of the piece.

The distinctive style and method of creation suggest that this piece was made during the Edo period (1603-1868), during which ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world," were popular. This art form depicts scenes from history, folklore, and daily life in Japan during that period. It's worth noting that this image seems to be well-preserved, with the colors retaining much of their vibrancy.
