Japanese Oshie art

This is a piece of Japanese Oshie art, which is a traditional form of padded or stuffed fabric appliqué or paper craft. This specific piece likely utilizes the oshie technique, where fabric pieces are meticulously cut, padded, and then applied to a board, creating a three-dimensional effect, often depicting figures like the kimono-clad girls seen here.
The artwork features two young girls in traditional Japanese kimonos, a common motif in oshie, often symbolizing various aspects of Japanese culture or folklore. While sometimes incorporating paper (like Washi paper), this particular piece strongly suggests the use of various fabrics, possibly silks, to create the textured garments and hair of the figures. Such oshie pieces are commonly created as decorative wall art, and the image suggests this piece is framed or mounted for display.
