　弟とはいつもわがままでやんちゃである、それだからこそ彼への愛情に溢れた作品。夏休みは遣りたい放題。ウルトラマンにデレビゲーム、お菓子に鉄道模型。ありとあらゆるオモチャの王様なのである。この王様に王冠が乗せられて宝石が鏤められているのがまた面白い。これでもかと言わんばかりのおもちゃたちが絵の隅々まで乱舞するこの構図にも惹かれた。画紙いっぱいに描かれた彼の顔のなんと自信に溢れて可愛いことか。

The younger brother is always selfish and mischievous, so this work is full of love for him. During summer vacation, he does whatever he wants. Ultraman, TV games, sweets, and model trains. He is the king of all kinds of toys. It is also interesting that the king has a crown on his head and is covered with jewels. I was also attracted by the composition of this picture, where the toys are all dancing wildly to every corner of the picture. His face looks sweet and confident, taking almost all the space in the picture!
