Description
Japanese Woodblock Print, 1903, artist and publisher unknown
SIZE IN INCHES: oban, 10 x 14.25 inches
COMMENTS: OMOCHA-E are ukiyo-e prints intended to be cut-up and played with (toy prints). Compared to yakusha-e (actor prints), bijin-ga (prints of beauties), and fukei-ga (landscapes), not many works of omocha-e remain today, because Omocha-e were ukiyo-e that children played with. They're like the supplements that are sometimes included in a children's magazine. These are pieces that can be cut and pasted to make a picture or a toy.
