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.^[1] 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.
