Description
Seven children are shown amidst toys, games and books. Two girls play ayatori / "string pulling" or cat's cradle, while a young lad looks at pictures of samurai / "warriors." An inu haiku / papier mache dog is at right, next to a fan, drum and drumsticks. In the foreground is a miniature sake / rice wine set for pretend parties. The whole group looks well-fed and happy, although the mother seems rather tired from managing such a crew.
