A light pink box with a curved top and a rectangular shape. The box has a red and gold patterned rectangle on its side. A flap on the front of the box is open, revealing cards inside. A blue cord is attached to the box and lies on the ground next to a white card with a gold design. The card has a striped border at the bottom. Another card lies on top of a gray envelope. The background is beige with Japanese writing in black ink. The writing is arranged vertically on the left side and horizontally on the top.
