Visual Description
A black, star-filled sky stretches over snowy, heavily laden pine trees on either side. In the center a small wooden boat-like platform with coiled ropes at its posts appears to move forward, and two red butterflies hover above it. Colorful, swirling cloud motifs arc across the upper sky like painted wind. The title 'SIX of SWORDS' is printed along the bottom in pale letters.
