*''Japanese'': 奈良絵本 ''(Nara ehon)''

''Nara ehon'' ("Nara Illustrated Books") were a type of hand-painted books produced in [[Kyoto]] in the early 1600s. Closely related works known as ''Nara emaki'' ("Nara handscrolls") also existed in the handscroll format.

Despite their name, the books had no connection to the city of [[Nara]], or the [[Nara period]].
