Omocha-e ( , "toy prints") is a genre of Japanese woodblock prints ukiyo-e created as picture books and toys for children. The genre was considered inferior to prints of kabuki actors (yakusha-e) or prints with beautiful women (bijin-ga). There were many types of Omocha-e, including paper dolls to be dressed (kisekae-e), matching-picture games (e-awase), board games (such as sugoroku), dioramas to be cut out and assembled (tatebanko or kumitate-e), and encyclopedic compilations (monozukushi).
