The image shows an open book with two pages featuring a black and white illustration of a bird. The book's pages are yellowed, with a black line bordering the illustrations. The bird has a long neck, an open beak, and dark feathers with light spots. It appears to be sitting in water with ripples around it, and the background shows wavy lines suggesting more water and a distant shoreline. The right page has vertical Japanese characters in the top-right corner. The background behind the book is plain and light-colored.
