In order to investigate the daily life of playful children, I mainly taken up Kibyosi and Ukiyoe. In the Kibyosi, I used as texts (1) “Syotozan-tenaraizyo” and (2) “Kodomosyu-chyusingura”, both of which have the theme of children’s games. In particular, focusing on Syotozan-tenaraizyo, whose theme is Tenjin-sama’s unexpected educational policy for awakening rebellious children who hate studying, it shows an educational view that candy, not whip, is effective for problem children. Among the ukiyoe, the main texts were “Syogei-keiko-zue” (1) “Utai,” (2) “Tenarai” (3) “Yomimono,” painted by Hiroshige Utagawa, which captures scenes of mischievous children in classroom. I confirmed that these were drawn along the flow of the preceding paintings. In particular, (3) “Yomimono” depicted the same world as the custom paintings by hand “Sodan” by Kim Hong-do of the Joseon period, and it was interesting to see the same perspective of artists who lived in the same period.
