Tobae ōgi no mato
Tobae ōgi no mato is a Japanese comic picture book published in Naniwa (Osaka) by Kawachiya Eisuke in 1788, aimed at general readers who enjoyed caricature and wit. Its pages show woodblock caricatures of people and figures in playful, distorted poses, with the months marked in the margins, and a designer could take from them the economy of a few confident brush-like outlines, the use of empty ground, and the comic exaggeration of gesture.
