The right side shows the same building and mountain, with people standing in front; they are wearing traditional clothing. The reverse side depicts a scene with flowering cherry trees. The object has a black and white cord handle at the top. The case appears to be made of metal and has a rope-like design around the bottom edge. The background behind the case is brown. The image shows two sides of the case side by side.
