There are two sections to the border; a wider section on the outside with a repeating pattern of green circles with a starburst design inside, and a narrower section on the inside with a repeating gold pattern on a black background. A green plant with long, thin leaves and white flowers with pink centers is painted on the bottom left. There are two small red stamps and some black Japanese calligraphy to the right of the plant. The scroll is hanging vertically and the background behind it is white.
