Yakumo no chigiri   'Poetic Intercourse' published in 1899

Yakumo no chigiri, designed by Tomioka Eisen and his pupuil, Hamada Josen, is an album containing twelve erotic woodblock prints. It is a very good example of the late Meiji period  shunga style - A complete album is a. o. in the collection of the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris. We are showing two preliminary drawings ('shita-e') and three paintings on silk which preceeded the print publication. Of one of the designs we are able to present the preliminary drawing together with the painting. Size of each: c. 23 x 28 cms  (c. 9" by 11") The paintings: colors on silk; very good condition, album backings. The drawings: ink on very thin paper; slight wear to edges, else very good condition.
