Pages from the Owari meisho Zue
Owari meisho zue (尾張名所図会, “Guide to famous Owari sites”) is an illustrated guide describing famous places, called meisho, and depicting their scenery in pre-1868 Owari province in central Japan. It was printed using Japanese woodblock printing techniques in books divided among volumes.
The Owari meisho Zue followed the publication of the Edo meisho zue, which sparked a public interest in travel guides.
