Preparing Food for a Nightingale, from the illustrated kyoka anthology "Men's Stamping Dance (Otoko toka)"

Interior scene with five women on a wooden veranda/room bordered by sliding paper doors, one of which is painted with a black-framed panel showing Mount Fuji over water. A woman in a mustard-yellow kimono kneels centrally, bent over a round covered basket or vessel, while a kneeling figure beside her in a purple floral robe faces her; behind them a standing woman in a purple-and-red floral kimono looks on. At left, a woman in a brown kimono reclines on the floor near a yellow lacquer box, propped on one elbow, with a flowering plum branch stretching across the foreground. The palette is muted—browns, mustard, purple, black, and touches of red—against pale grey and cream architectural surfaces, giving the scene a quiet, domestic mood.
