Extensive Japanese text and narrative elements are present throughout, alongside several red cartouches. The artist’s signature ‘豊原国周画’ (Toyohara Kunichika ga) is visible in a red cartouche in the lower left corner, and the series title ‘観音霊験記’ (Kannon Reigenki) is in a prominent red cartouche in the upper right.
