Paper models existed in
Japan even during the Edo and
Meiji Periods. Some were
3D models, just like the paper
models of today, while others
were diorama like displays
featuring samurai warriors,
etc, from kabuki plays.

This small exhibition
presents, with the kind
permission of the owners,
approximately ten Meiji
Period paper works assembled
from full-sized copies of the
original prints.

Everyone is welcome, to see
and hopefully be enchanted
by what is now a forgotten
part of Japanese culture, but
which once was a popular
pastime known as
Tatebanko.
