Golden-colored rectangular box with rounded corners and a slightly domed top. The box features a landscape design with a mountain and trees in brown, and a green area, possibly foliage. The box has a textured appearance with many small pits or holes across its surface. A thin line runs along the top of the box, possibly indicating a lid. The box is set against a gray background that darkens towards the top. The box is titled "Writer's Box" and is by Ogata Kenzan.
