Some shells have darker markings or texture. Seaweeds are depicted in dark green and black, some with yellow accents. The seaweeds are intertwined among the shells. The upper half of the image features Japanese text written in black and red ink. The black text is arranged in several vertical lines on the left and center. The red text is on the right side.
