Tanaka Tani Bunchō's "Bok Choy, Design Four from Shazanrō Picture Book" shows a two-page spread from a book. The pages are yellowed with age and have a thin black border around the illustrations. The left page features a red seal or stamp in the bottom-left corner. The illustration on the left page depicts a large bunch of bok choy with thick, white stalks and dark green leaves. The illustration on the right page shows a smaller bunch of bok choy with thinner stalks and more sparse leaves. Both illustrations are rendered in shades of gray and black. The book's cover is visible on the sides, featuring a gold background with a pattern of blue, green, and white designs.
