The Thirty-six Immortals of Poetry (Sanjūrokkasen) 三十六歌仙
The image shows an open book with two pages. The book pages are yellowed, with darker edges and lighter centers. The left page shows a simple pencil drawing of a man sitting cross-legged on the floor, wearing a robe, facing right, with his hands resting on his knees. The right page shows a simple black and white drawing of another man sitting cross-legged on the floor, wearing a robe with one shoulder exposed, facing left. There are several lines of Japanese text written in black ink on both pages. The background behind the book is white. The book appears to be bound with a thin, dark brown string.
