[QUOTE=John Wagenseil;749080]I stumbled across this example of "tatebanko art".

This one looks like a single sheet view of a harbor, with three Japanese warships in the background (?~1905). The main action depicted is a rowing competition among 4 longboats, each with 8 crew pulling 8 oars and a coxswain at the stern. The central structure on shore is a viewing platform. Because the longboats are printed on both sides, to be folded, I think they can be moved and pointed either way, to re-enact a race with a full lap up and back. I suspect the colored squares make flags, which can be hung on a thread to create the finish line. A lively tatebanko, cramming a lot into one sheet!
