Several plants are potted into a wooden barrel next to a woman who is sitting in front of a washbowl, getting ready to wash clothes. The morning glories inside the barrel are clinging to the support poles. On the side of the barrel, the store name “Yamaju” can be seen, indicating that this flowerpot was converted from a soy sauce barrel from Yamaju Shoten, a soy sauce brewer in Chōshi (Chiba Prefecture).
