Description : "Oh-anesama" (Eight Large Lady-Figures) "omocha-e" (toy prints for children to cut out and play. Collecting toy prints) depicting eight large figures. Their names are Ohana-san, Osen-san, Omine-san etc. 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) periods. The original colors and the "unique tastes" are very different from the ones on the later Omocha-e.
