Bijin-ga, Antique Japanese Erotic Album, Erotic Art, Woodblock print, Shunga

Antique Japanese Erotic Album. Includes works by Yoshitoshi, Utamaro, Eisen. Shunga is a type of Japanese erotic art typically executed as a kind of ukiyo-e, often in woodblock print format. While rare, there are also extant erotic painted handscrolls which predate ukiyo-e. Translated literally, the Japanese word shunga means picture of spring; “spring” is a common euphemism for sex. The Japanese term Ukiyo-e translates as picture of the floating world. Bijin-ga is a portrait of a beautiful woman. If you need additional photos, feel free to contact me. If you are looking for something from Japanese art but haven’t found the right one in the shop, feel free to contact me, I can make you a personalized offer of what is not in the gallery. Please note that antique and vintage artworks may have traces of time, so please review all photos.

Antique HOKUSAI Gafu Album of Colored Ukiyoe Woodblock Prints Meiji era

The book has side stitched binding; each page is formed from a single sheet of paper printed on one side and then folded with the printed side out. The top and bottom corners of the spine are enclosed with what appears to be silk edging. A rectangular printed paper title slip is pasted onto the front cover in the top left corner. Pale pink, blue, green and gray were used to highlight the black line images. Approximate size: 9-1/2″ x 6-1/4″. Condition: Very nice copy of botanical woodblock prints by Hokusai with good detail. I believe that this was issued in 1912 (Meiji 45). Binding is tight and pages are intact, clean, and unmarked. Additional pictures available upon request. Please look at my other listings for additional collectible books from my personal collection.
