Description |
The image shows a
solitary traveler walking through the village. In the foreground, to the left, three women are preparing sliced gourd (kampyo),
one of them with a baby on her back. In the center there is a tree and beyond we see the village, amid bamboos, with palisades
on which fourth woman is hanging sliced gourd for drying. High mountains, printed only in color blocks, are seen in background. |
