Colours and shapes of small dishes and a cake

Scenes recorded in the photographs.

A photograph of five small dishes on a black tray shows green leaves and brown, orange and pink food. A red-brown plate carries pink and white slices and a large green leaf. Other photographs show a fish-fillet-shaped dish and food with a golden coating.

A plate patterned with blue rings holds meat slices with red-pink centres and brown sauce. Two square containers show a pink arrangement over white grains, and pale-yellow and brown pieces in the nearer container.

A cake photograph shows a white surface and fruit-like decorations in several colours. A dark plaque carries the word “yokohama,” with bright spark-like lines around the cake. The photographs offer separate views of dishes, vessels and decoration.
