The image shows two pages from a book. The pages are yellowed and have a black border around the illustrations. The left page has a faint illustration of a person sitting cross-legged on the ground. The person appears to be wearing a robe and there is a tree branch with leaves extending from the top left corner. There is a building in the background. The right page has a black and white illustration of a bird perched on a branch, possibly a monkey or ape-like creature with long hair. The creature appears to be sitting on a branch with its legs folded under its body and its hands near its face. The background of the illustration is plain. There are Japanese characters written vertically along the right edge of the page.
