Red preserves and words on manju photographs

A photograph of a glass jar with red contents is labelled “rhubarb.” A photograph of long red stems in a colander also has a note about buying rhubarb. A jar with a yellow fruit-patterned lid appears in a separate image.

A blue-green plate holds round pieces with fine green fragments, beside words saying that the bean paste was homemade too. Five pale-green round pieces in a paper-lined metal container are labelled “yomogi manju.” Another plate holds glossy brown round pieces. The note looks at each jar or plate separately.
