    Antique Japanese Erotica on Washi Paper

    Japan
    1970s
    27 x 21 cm

     
    This erotic sketch is done on washi paper which is quite thin. The drawing is well done and with a light touch. The picture appears along with script which, presumably, describes the scene. The illustration is highly stylized and could be anatomically impossible. By conventional standards these are erotic (some would say obscene). Among upper classes of Japan, such a drawing (more likely an entire book) would be a wedding gift to a bride and groom, and was intended to be instructional with regard to human sexuality, which the bride and groom were assumed to be totally naive about.
     
    If there is interest, I will provide other details/information available prior to purchase.
