Women Preparing Sashimi

Two women in traditional Japanese clothing, kimonos, are shown in a domestic setting. The woman in the foreground is crouched down, holding a large knife and cutting raw fish on a red tray. A low table with a large plate of raw fish sits beside her. The woman behind her sits on the floor, her left leg bent under her, and holds a cloth. Both women have dark hair styled in traditional Japanese fashion, adorned with hairpins. The woman in front wears a brown kimono with red and white designs; the woman behind wears a brown kimono with black and red trim over a patterned under-kimono. A small, vertically written text and a ruler for scale are on the right side. The background is a plain beige color.
