Kitchen Scene

The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print titled "Kitchen Scene" by Kitagawa Utamaro. Four women are shown in a kitchen setting. The woman on the left wears a green and beige kimono and sits on the floor with her hair styled in a bun; she holds a small object in her right hand. To her right, a woman in a black and beige kimono sits on the floor and wears a headband; she holds a long, thin object to her mouth. On the right side, a woman in a pink kimono stands behind another woman, who sits on the floor; the standing woman pours water from a kettle into a large bucket. The seated woman on the right has a black and white kimono with a geometric pattern. The background is yellow; a red box and other kitchen items are present. The women are dressed traditionally, wearing kimonos and with traditional hairstyles. The image shows everyday life in a Japanese kitchen.
