Flowers of a Hundred Worlds (Momoyogusa): Fulling Silk (Uchiginu)
A traditional Japanese-style painting depicts two women working with fabric. The woman on the left has long black hair and wears a red, blue, and green patterned top with a light green skirt. She sits on the floor next to a wooden frame holding a white fabric, and appears to be smoothing it. The woman on the right has long black hair with brown ends and wears a blue, orange, and white patterned garment. She crouches beside the woman on the left and holds a long wooden mallet. They sit beneath a gray awning supported by three vertical posts. A window with a grid pattern is on the left. The background is a plain gray wall. The color palette is muted, with shades of beige, gray, and earth tones.
