A girl arranges the cocoons on a tray whilst another holds a full tray and another watches the scene. In this, the final part of this triptych, the women are seen examining the worms with new, fully spun cocoons, which are arranged on trays and again racked. They see that the worms are ready to spin when they see the coming over the edge of the tray, they pick them with their hands and put them in the loose straw [mabushi], which gives them greater ease for spinning.
