[Untitled omocha-e woodblock print]

[Japan]: Monbushō Seihonjo, [ca. early Meiji period (1870-1880s)].

An early Meiji "cut-out-and-play" style omocha-e (toy print) featuring a foreign woman and three children, an outfit for each, and an array of accessories. The figures reflect the fascination with Western clothes that followed the opening of Japan to trade in the 1860s.

One ōban nishiki-e, presumed complete. Light trimming, minor soiling and marks, minor repairs to verso, publisher's seal to upper right corner. 34.5 x 23.7 cm.
