Description:
"Shinban; Anesama Zukushi". Twelve different characters in 4 blocks. "omocha-e" (toy prints for children to cut out and play. Collecting toy prints became quite popular in Japan recently. Although the printing quality and paper quality are inferior, their appeal come from the charming and homely feeling unique to the Omocha-e made in late Edo to Mid-Meiji (1860-1890). The original colors and the "unique tastes" are very different from the ones on the later Omocha-e.).
