Sugoroku Boardgames of Famous Locations From Around the World

解説かいせつ

This sugoroku boardgame is a rare example of a Meiji period sugoroku made from a base created with cooper-plate intaglio printing and colors applied with woodblock printing. The game begins at Shinbashi depicting the soon to be twenty-year old train station. The game utilizes the tobi-sugoroku rules in which the player "flies" to a new location based on what number they role. Each space comprises of a famous location abroad or within Japan, including Yokohama, New York, and St. Petersberg. They also include a short description of each location. The final space includes the Meiji Emperor and his family. To the immediate right of the goal space is a space with Enoshima island depicted.

The publisher Ozeki Toyo owned a shop in Nihonbashi and was also known for his copper-plate prints.
