The left page shows a large building with a brown roof, surrounded by a fence and people walking around. There are trees and hills in the background. The right page shows a similar scene, with a large tree in the center and buildings with brown roofs. There are people walking around, and a hill with trees in the background. The illustrations appear to be a landscape of a Japanese town or city, with buildings, trees, and people. The style is traditional Japanese, with simple lines and muted colors.
