Very good impressions.  Condition is very good with some minor wear and soiling  The first few pages of the book are borderless at top with green backing, but that's only five insignificant pages.  Please judge from the photos provided.
  
23 picture pages within, while the remaining pages are kanji text pages.   Again, two of the scenes are rare homoerotic scenes.  Each gay shunga scene shows an older man with a younger kagema (young male prostitute who portrays females in traditional plays).  The male genitalia of each participant are clearly shown in both scenes.
