The image depicts a drawing of a bamboo shoot. The shoot is drawn from the side and slanted diagonally across the page. It features multiple overlapping layers of thin leaves, with pointed tips and various line patterns. Dark shading on the right transitions to light on the left. A few small leaves extend outward from the shoot on the left. A column of Japanese text is on the left, and three red seals are on the right. The background is a mottled off-white.
