この絵の題名である、「子供遊の図」とは、当時の絵師たちの知恵がよく分かる部分です。
当時の江戸では、火事や災害を題材にすることが禁じられていたため、代わりに子どもたちが火消の仮装をして遊ぶ様子として描かれたものです。
作品の歴史と構図の素晴らしさが際立つ作品です。

This painting clearly depicts a firefighter at that time.
However, since it was forbidden to use fire or disaster as a subject in Edo at that time, the painting was titled and painted with children playing dressed as firefighters instead.
This work clearly shows the wisdom of the painters who tried to depict the popular occupation of firefighters under the restrictions of the time, as well as the wonderful composition of the painting itself.
