A long, beige-colored flute with a small, circular decoration near the end lies on a fabric cover. The cover displays a repeating pattern of red octagons outlined in white and green on a brown background, adorned with a white flower near its center. Cherry blossoms and leaves are scattered around the cover and flute. The cover is decorated with a floral design and has a brown tassel. The background of the image features a light beige color with Japanese text written vertically along the left side and horizontally near the top right corner. A small red seal is visible on the right side.
