A long, curved branch extends from the bottom-right corner to the top-center. Two smaller, bare branches extend from the top-center. The heron has a white body, long legs, and a long neck. It faces right with its head lowered. The branch it stands on is brown and twisted. There is a small red seal and some Japanese writing on the right side.
