Description
Hand tinted image. Three Japanese womenare in the process of making silk. They wear kimonos and sashes called obi around their waists; they have their hair dressed in traditional Japanese style.The cords crossing on their backs are used to tuck up the sleeves of a kimono. All three womenare in different processes of working with the silk on a wooden device. A big reel of silk is hung from the eaves, and small reels of silk are on wooden board and straw mats.Behind the big reel are a verandah and sliding doors, called fusuma, decorated with Japanese calligraphy-patterned fusuma papers. One big stepping stone is visible in front of the verandah.
