A yellow and brown bird perches on a branch. The bird faces left. Its chest and head are yellow; the back and wings are brown. Dark feathers surround its eye. The branch has dark green leaves and large flowers with pinkish-white petals. The background fades from dark red at the top to beige at the bottom. The flower to the left is fully visible; the one above the bird is partially cut off. A beige border surrounds the image. Japanese characters appear on the right side.
