Description: This print is part of the series "Children’s Customs and Manners" (Kodomo Fuzoku) by Miyagawa Shuntei. The series consists of two sets of 24 prints, each illustrating children engaged in various activities—from seasonal and indoor/outdoor play to festive events and scenes of everyday life during the Meiji era.

Shuntei’s designs are distinguished by their detailed figures, featuring pale tones, soft brushwork, and a subtle color palette evoking a nostalgic view of childhood.

This print depicts three young girls playing the traditional number game known as kazu-hiroi outdoors. This educational game combines play with learning, allowing children to practice numbers and basic mathematics in an engaging, hands-on way. The girls are shown cheerfully picking up numbered cards, their expressions reflecting both focus and enjoyment.

This print is backed and top left corner has pinholes. Pink stains at the bottom right and top left corner.
