四字熟語 (Japanese four-character idiomatic compound)
This expression means that you are so full of yourself that you will boast your own achievements (which one should be careful of not doing - the only praise worth receiving is one given by somebody else - ideally someone who is more accomplished). 自画自賛 originally meant a Chinese painting with a poem written in by the artist themselves.
