A pink cuttlefish with long, curvy tentacles stretches across the bottom. A few plum blossoms are on the right side and a few more on the bottom left. Most blossoms have green stems and leaves. The background is beige, with some darker shading on the cuttlefish. There is a red seal on the bottom left and some Japanese writing on the left and right side.
