As the name "standing Tatebanko (Nishiki-e)" suggests, it is a toy made by cutting and assembling Nishiki-e prints, but the surprise and enjoyment of the three-dimensional and panoramic feel when assembled is unique to Tatebanko. Even those that were popular during the Edo period are now extremely rare, almost mythical. Media reviews and more: The latest edition of "Sgt.
