Two costumed individuals are standing outdoors on sandy ground under a clear blue sky in Kyoto, Japan, likely within the grounds of Nijo Castle. The individual on the left wears a white and red Kitsune (fox) mask, a long white wig, a black t-shirt, and a black and gold patterned kimono-style jacket over a dark skirt. This individual holds a dark wooden staff with a red strap over their left shoulder, appearing to support its weight. The individual on the right wears white fox ears adorned with small gold chains, a dark wig with white/grey tips, a black face mask, and a dark robe featuring light grey faux fur trim around the collar. This individual also displays silver armor-like plating on their torso with purple and red tassels and their right hand is near the center of the staff. In the mid-ground, a wooden railing and a light-colored traditional Japanese wall are visible, with green trees beyond. In the far background, a tall, slender metal pole and overhead wires are present, indicating proximity to modern infrastructure. A third person in light-colored traditional clothing walks away in the far left background.
