Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discover a way of understanding the stories contained in the paintings of children. The method of the study is to analyze, from the view of narratologie, different types of children's paintings, and multiple paintings drawn by a child. As a result, by identifying the main character in each painting and by knowing the distance relationship between the main character and the child author, we can find variations in quality or mode, in the world of the story. These, in turn, can serve as clues for understanding the story of children's paintings.
