This is a woodblock print depicting two faces, one a fierce mask and the other a more subdued human face. The print is done in a traditional Japanese style with flat planes of color and strong outlines. The left side of the print features a large, red demon mask. The mask has a wide, open mouth with visible teeth, and angry, slanted eyes. The mask is topped with a spiky, white hairstyle. The mask's expression is fierce and intimidating. The right side of the print features a pale, human face. The face has a calm expression, with closed eyes and a small, upturned nose. The face is topped with two dark, rounded shapes that resemble hair or ears. The face is surrounded by a thin, black outline. Above the mask and face, there is a column of Japanese text written in black ink. The text is written vertically and appears to be a description or explanation of the image. The background of the print is a pale yellow color. The print is in good condition, with only minor signs of wear and tear.
