Vertical scroll with calligraphy and drawing. The background of the scroll is beige with darker edges. A green and gold border runs along both sides. The calligraphy is written in black ink and is mostly on the left side. Some of the calligraphy is on the right side and appears to be written upside down. A black ink drawing of a tree and three swallows is on the bottom right. The tree has a curved trunk and minimal branches. The swallows are flying to the right. The calligraphy and artwork appear to be in an Asian style. The artwork depicts the title and artist, "Calligraphy with Willow and Swallows," by Ikkyū Sōjun.
