Toba-e 鳥羽絵 is a style of Japanese painting that originated in the 12th century and is attributed to Toba Sôjô. The paintings were often humorous caricatures featuring animals performing human tasks. Although their popularity declined, Toba-e images had a lasting impact, especially in manga. Toba-e style paintings in the Edo period were known for their focus on comedy, simplicity, and precision of brushwork with crisp edges and organic shapes. The colours used were light and conservative.
