The image shows a piece of artwork titled "Rising Sun and Plum Tree" by Totoya Hokkei. The artwork features a rectangular shape with a light beige background. The left side of the artwork contains a column of Japanese text written in black ink. The right side depicts a tree with a thick, dark gray trunk and branches, some of which have small buds or flowers. The sun is a large orange circle behind the tree, positioned near the center of the right side. The sun's color fades to a lighter shade towards the bottom. The tree's trunk is positioned at an angle from the bottom center to the top right. The background of the artwork is off-white with a slightly darker border around the edges.
