A rectangular piece of off-white paper contains dense rows of black Japanese text written in a calligraphic style. The paper is bordered by a thin brown strip on all sides, which is itself bordered by a thicker dark green strip. Three red stamps are placed on the paper, one in the top-right corner and two in the bottom corners. The background behind the paper is dark green with a subtle pattern.
