Ministry of education paper toys from 1873
Educational Colored Woodblock Prints
In 1873, Ministry of Education published many Nishiki-e (Colored woodblock prints) to help education in families with small children. Those prints are called "Kyoiku Nishiki-e (Educational Colored Woodblock Prints)" or "Youdou Katei Kyoiku-you Kaiga (Pictures for home education)." The University of Tsukuba Library holds about 100 sheets of them. Some of these models seemed to have been designed to teach children in the recently opened up Japan about things "Western". Find them here: Educational Colored Woodblock Prints

Wow, John! That is some wonderful stuff! Thanks for posting them. As an amateur woodworker, I find the drawings showing the process of building a house to be especially interesting. Cool!

Hi Thomas>
Having discovered Japanese pull saws, I am never going back to a push saw. It is much easier to saw a straight line with a pull saw. (And awhile back I got several kitchen and chef's knives made either in Japan or Taiwan. They hold a very sharp edge and make food prep almost easy. And if you can find them at Asian Mart, they are a lot cheaper than buying them at hoitey toitey kitchen store. ) Last edited by John Wagenseil; 03-20-2012 at 10:53 AM.
