Antique Japanese Erotic Album, Reprint. Age: Antique, first half of 20th century. 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.
