Taisho Shunga: Maple Leaf Woodblock

Description

Japanese Woodblock Print, Taisho era, publisher unknown, deluxe edition with mica inks used in the cartouche

SIZE IN INCHES: 7.25 x 5.25inches

COMMENTS: From a series of shunga prints comparing the female partner to a flower.

SHUNGA is a subgenre of classic Japanese erotic art, typically produced as ukiyo-e woodblock prints or painted scrolls. Translating literally to "spring pictures"—since "spring" is an ancient euphemism for sex -- these works celebrated sexual pleasure with humor, beauty, and unabashed detail.
