[What is Tatebanko?]

Tatebanko, also known as "Tatehanko." It was widely enjoyed during the Edo period as a type of "toy picture" within the genre of nishiki-e (color woodblock prints) .
As the name "Tateban-ko (Nishiki-e)" suggests, it involves cutting out and assembling nishiki-e prints for enjoyment. However, the three-dimensionality and panoramic sense that surpass expectations when assembled, along with the sheer delight they bring, are truly unique to Tateban-ko. Many depicted miniature versions of Kabuki plays and stages, or reproduced landscapes, famous sites, and seasonal scenes; it is said that over a thousand different types may have been produced in the past. Yet, for some reason, Tatenbanko virtually disappeared by the early 20th century, around the Taisho era.
Very few examples from the Edo period, when they were so widely enjoyed, survive today, making them truly a phantom existence.
