Description
An album cover bordered in black, bound with black cord at the left edge, printed with a stone approach and staircase leading uphill through tall green trees toward a red torii gate and shrine buildings, with a stone monument bearing red-and-black characters standing to the right of the path. The title "NIKKO" appears at upper left in Roman letters above Japanese characters and the artist's name, with a small red seal beneath the text; a patch of yellow-orange foliage appears at the right edge. The palette is dominated by muted greens and grays with red accents, on a cream-colored ground.
