The Tōkaidō meisho zue (1797) on the 53 stations of the Tōkaidō Road is one of the most important Japanese illustrated woodblock printed books.
It is a forerunner for the many Tōkaidō series of colored prints of the ukiyp-e genre like the ones by Hokusai and Hiroshige a.o.
The intention of publishing this is to give lovers of Japanese prints some background material. It may also be used as a coloring book although there is a lot of text.
The Meisho zue printed books' illustrations are originally in black and white and are therefore perfect for coloring exercise and also for the study of landscape design.
The original series was published in seven volumes, and this is no 3.
