An alluring low 6-panel byôbu 屏風 (folding screen) with an animated Kanô School-style painting on gold leaf of karako 唐子 (Chinese children) at play under supervision of four noblewomen.
The motif “One Hundred Boys at Play" is a Chinese theme wishing the viewer many generations of accomplished scholars and prosperity, as it symbolises longevity and health for offspring.
A boy watches with keen interest as a noblewoman holds a bird, reaching out his hand in a gesture indicating his desire to hold it. Nearby, another boy proudly runs with a red hand windmill. At a low table, a boy stands, questioning two elegant noblewomen about the literature displayed. Three young boys play around a water tub, one boastfully displaying a fish he caught. In the surroundings, numerous boys chase butterflies and insects, using various fans to catch them mid-air. One older boy even carries a younger one on his shoulder, ensuring everyone can partake in the joyful activity.
