Omocha-e - Omocha-e are toy prints, encompassing a wide range of woodblocks designed for play or learning. Omocha-e became popular with both children and adults in the late Edo and Meiji eras. Subjects range from games, puzzles, and paper dolls to groups of household furnishings, articles of clothing, or wigs, along with construction toys to cut out and build. Some designs were intended to be cut into strips and folded into miniature picture books. Many feature wonderful detail or bright color. These attractive and fun prints are an interesting choice to collect or display.
