The image displays an open book with traditional Japanese woodblock print illustrations and text. On the left side, there is a colorful illustration of a gigantic, mythical creature that appears to be a combination of a tiger and a serpent; its body has the stripes and legs of a tiger, but it also has a long, scaled serpentine tail. The background suggests it might be emerging from clouds or mist.

The right side depicts another part of the same creature, showing off its head with sharp teeth and a large, reptilian eye. This part of the creature seems to be flying, with cloud-like forms surrounding it. Below the head, there's an illustration of a terrified person, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, seemingly being attacked or frightened by the mythical beast.

Both pages contain Japanese text, which is likely to detail the story or myth being portrayed in the illustrations. The text on the right side is more extensive than on the left, accompanying the illustration closely. The book itself shows signs of wear and age, with slight discoloration on the pages, indicating it is likely an artifact from an earlier time.
