Commentary
Yoshimi paints pictures with paints she borrowed from her older brother. When Yoshimi notices a snake carrying away the paints and chases after it, she discovers the animals in the forest painting pictures... This impressive work showing Yoshimi and the animals engrossed in painting, was inspired by the artist's memories of attending art classes.
