The image depicts a traditional Japanese-style still life. A floral arrangement with green leaves and pink-and-white flowers sits to the left. Beside it, a small white vase holds several long incense sticks with a round tan object on top. A white bowl and a patterned cloth are positioned to the right of the vase. A cylindrical container wrapped in fabric with a tan object on top is placed to the right. Japanese writing is scattered throughout the image. A red seal is in the bottom-right corner, and a small white rectangle with "1974" is in the bottom-left corner. The background is beige with a darker beige border.
