Tan, aged book pages, left page filled with approximately 30 lines of small black Japanese text. Right page has a black ink drawing of two men sitting. The man on the right sits cross-legged on the floor holding a hat and a fan. He wears a traditional Japanese outfit with a sash around his waist. A small table with two objects and a box on the floor are in front of him. The man on the left sits on a low stool facing right, playing a lute. He wears a traditional Japanese outfit with a sash around his waist and a traditional Japanese hat. A hat sits on the floor next to him. Small Japanese characters are drawn around both men. The background behind the book pages is black.
