*''Japanese'': 鳥羽絵 ''(Toba-e)''
''Toba-e'' were a particular style of cartoon or caricature of the [[Edo period]], most often seen in bound, published books called ''Toba-e-hon''. Simplistic and cartoonish in style, and somewhat resembling stick figures, the images were called ''Toba-e'' after the [[Heian period]] figure [[Toba Sojo|Toba Sôjô]], who is alleged to have possibly painted the famous ''[[Choju-giga|Chôjû-giga]]'' ("Frolicking Animals") scrolls which these ''Toba-e'' were also said to resemble.
In the mid-19th century, up until the 1920s, the term ''Toba-e'' came to refer to cartoons or caricatures more broadly. This development was encouraged by the publication by [[George Bigot]], beginning in [[1884]], of a journal entitled ''Tobaye: Journal satirique''.
