Tan and gold square artwork with a thin gold border. A large brown tree trunk spans the bottom-right to top-center. Thin plants and leaves extend from the tree. A figure sitting on water on the bottom-left appears to be holding a staff. Dark brown and black Japanese characters in a column are on the bottom-right, accompanied by a small red square stamp.
