Karako (唐子) is a Japanese term used in art with the depiction of Chinese children playing. The literal translation means "Tang children". The children tend to be depicted with a particular hairstyle that is knotted at the top and shaved on both sides of the head.[1][2]
The theme of these playing children can be found in screens and ceramics and other forms of Japanese art. They symbolise the innocence and joy of childhood.[1] Arita ware, Nabeshima ware and Hirado ware are typical examples of Japanese pottery that depicted karako. In painted form on ceramic ware, it often shows boys chasing butterflies.[3]
