The image shows a two-page spread from an old book titled "Picture Book on Heroes of China and Japan (Ehon wakan no homare) 絵本和漢誉" by "Katsushika Hokusai 葛飾北斎". The pages are yellowed with age. The left page shows a long, serpentine creature with scales, claws, and a spiky texture on its head, curving from the bottom-left corner to the top-center. The right page continues the creature's body, curving from top-center to bottom-right corner, ending with the creature's head facing left. The background of both pages features a gray tone with lighter gray cloud-like shapes. There is Japanese writing in the top-right and top-left corners of the right and left pages respectively.
