These prints show the occupations of the 仏師 (busshi, sculptor of Buddhist statues) on the left and the 鎧師 (yoroi-shi, armourer) on the right.

In the image, three busshi are working together. In old days, it was common that a group of busshi worked together when creating a large Buddhist statue. They are using tools such as mallets, chisels and chona (釿, ちょうな). There was a time that most busshi were also Buddhist priests, but over time, the environment changed. Nowadays, a busshi is a sculptor who specializes in making Buddhist statues.

During the time when warriors used swords, yoroi (armor) was an essential item to protect them from injury. Making yoroi involved many processes, and various craftsmen specializing in each step were involved in making them. In the image, the yoroi-shi is presumably applying urushi (Japanese lacquer) to one of the parts. From the ceiling, an almost completed helmet is hanging. As time passed, particularly during the Edo era when there were far fewer conflicts, armor came to be valued more as an art product than for its practical purpose.
