The image depicts a nighttime scene with a bare tree on the left side and a group of white foxes gathered around its base. The tree has many thin branches and a thick trunk. The foxes are clustered near the base of the tree. The background shows a body of water with another tree line in the distance. The sky is dark blue and speckled with white dots representing snow. The image includes two vertical orange rectangles with Japanese writing. A small rectangular inset in the top right features more Japanese writing and a pink design.
