A late 1800’S – early 1900’s Japanese shunga erotic print fold out book. This is part of a personal collection we brought from Kyoto, Japan. There are 12 prints printed on Japanese washi paper. After the 12 prints there is a long description / story printed on the following pages in small written Japanese. It’s older Japanese written in a stylized (willow) form so very difficult for modern Japanese to read. It must be a good story, there are 24 pages of it. This fold out book is covered in patterned silk on both sides. It’s 3 5/8 inches wide x 5 inches tall. (9.25 x 12.75). Each print is two pages together, so each print is 7 1/4 inches wide x 5 inches tall. (18.5 x 12.75 cm). We have other shungas listed.
