Japanese text fills the top half of the image. A red stamp is in the upper right corner. A dark gray seaweed illustration dominates the lower half. The seaweed has a long curved stem that tapers to a point on the left. Several blue seaweed strands are at the bottom. A red coral-like object protrudes from the right edge. The background is a light beige color.
