Visual Description
A large, vividly colored bird with teal-green wings, a red neck, and a cream-colored crest fills the card, its wings spread wide as if in flight. A blazing sun and stylized flames arc across a deep, dark background behind the bird. To the left stands a single upright wand-like staff with a few leaves, and peacock-eye feathers fan across the bottom of the image. White decorative corner motifs frame the scene, the script title 'King of Wands' sits in a white cartouche at the base, and the artist signature 'yoshiyoshitani' is visible.
