Sketch-tour Genre Prints - Sketch-tour books depicting travelers and scenic views became popular in Japan in the during the late Meiji era (1868 - 1912) and continued through the Taisho era (1912 - 1926).

These woodblocks are from a lovely group of designs with soft color and the look of a quick sketch or painting. An interesting genre of Japanese woodblock prints.
