The image titled "Spools" by Kubo Shunman depicts three spools of thread. The spool on the left is light brown with a blue and white top. The spool in the middle has a black body and a yellow top with a gray pattern. The spool on the right is blue. Each spool has three legs and three protrusions on top. The background is beige with Japanese writing in black ink. There is a red seal in the bottom-right corner. The spools are centered at the bottom of the image. The writing covers most of the image, with some blank space at the bottom. The image has a rectangular shape.
