The image shows an open book with two pages. The pages are yellowed and have a drawing of two trees on them, one on the left page and one on the right. The tree on the left has a curved trunk that leans to the left, with branches extending out from it. The tree on the right has a straight trunk and no leaves. There are several lines of Japanese writing on the right page, written vertically. The writing is in black ink and appears to be calligraphy. The background of the image is white, suggesting that the book is lying on a table or other flat surface.
