1845 - UTAGAWA - Shunga - Turtle - Spring Sakura
Authentic Edo period original, c.1845, Japanese erotic art shunga woodblock print picture by an artist of the UTAGAWA School. From the shunga series, Uotori (fish & bird) ajiwai (taste) kurabe (comparison). An interesting - and if not odd - shunga with each scene in the book comparing the sexual organs/acts of the lovers to either fish and/or birds. Hence, the animal cartouche at the top corner of each shunga picture. The author is Insuitei.
Shunga woodblock print picture measures 17.5 cm x 21.6 cm. Very good colors and impressions. Condition is very good with some light wear and soiling, wormage at bottom border. No backing. Please see and judge from photos.
A great-looking shunga woodblock print picture of two lovers readying for intercourse on a spring day.
