HOKUSAI Katsushika.
KANAGAWA OKI NAMI URA: THE GREAT WAVE OFF KANAGAWA. From The Series: "FUGAKU SAN
Tokyo 1829-33 Nishimuraya A large Oban sheet: 37.8 x 25.3 cm.print size:37.5 x 24.5 cm. mostly very cleana few mild rubs verso mends mild corner stains by & large excellent registry & impression. VERY RARE EARLY PERIOD ORIGINAL ITEM . . . . ONE OF HOKUSAI'S MOST ICONIC PRINTS . . . "KANAGAWA OKI NAMI URA: "GREAT WAVE OFF KANAGAWA" . . .FROM THE FUGAKU SANJU ROKKEI: THIRTY-SIX VIEWS OF MT. FUJI . . This is one of the most recognizable prints in the world ! Superbly executed in Ai Zuri E indigo-blue print technique using repeated printings of shades of blue. . THE FAMOUS MASTER ARTIST KATSUSHIKA Hokusai 1760-1849: Hokusai was the leading master of the mid-19th century of Ukiyo-e woodblock print artists. He apprenticed with the eminent Katsukawa Shunsho. . Hokusai remains today as one of the two most famous painters of all time in Japan. His skill at composition impressive motion and action are unsurpassed. . THE PRINT: . At the upper left corner is the title cartouche reading: "FUGAKU SANJU ROKKEI: Kanagawa Oki Nami Ura." To the left of that is his signature in block reading: "Hokusai Aratamete Iitsu." . DATING: . The set of was issued serially from circa 1829-1833 however per Terry p.15 he suggests the series began around 1822 and that the Kanagawa Great Wave was one of three of the earliest in the series of 36 prints. . He continued: "An important clue to the date of the series i found in an advertisement put out ion 1831 by Nishimuraya Yohachi the publisher of the Thirty-Six views as well as of many other landscape prints by Hokusai: 'Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji' by old man Iitsu the former Hokusai One Indig Print. These pictures show Mt. Fuji as it appears from the coast of Seven Leagues from Tsukuda Island and from Many other Points." See Terry p.16-17. . PRINT TITLE: This iconic work is also known as "The Great Wave" or simply "The Wave" . THE SUBJECT: The image depicts an enormous wave threatening three boats off the coast of the town of Kanagawa the present-day city of Yokohama Kanagawa Prefecture while Mount Fuji rises in the background. Sometimes the wave was assumed to be a Tsunami the wave is more likely a large rogue wave. As in many of the prints in the series it depicts the area around Mount Fuji under particular conditions the mountain itself appears in the background. Throughout the series are dramatic uses of Berlin blue pigment indigo-blue color. . KIWAME: CENSOR'S SEAL & PUBLISHER'S DATA: Prof. Lane cites on p.260 the use of Eijudoh F-107 seal on these prints. Not all prints in this series has this seal especially the earlier dates. Looking at each example he illustrates from print #1-46 pp.260-265 the first use of this seal is on print #12 his #379 and continues sporadically through the last see plates 1-46. See Lane below. . The publisher was Nishimuraya Yohachi in Nihonbashi Edo he also used Nishimura Eijudoh a variation. See Lane p.314 top left. . HOKUSAI'S HANKO seal/chop: Reviewing the whole group of 46 prints in this series Hokusai did not seal stamp a good number of the prints others has his seal and the Kiwame sensor's approval seal. . The GREAT WAVE has no Hanko at all true to the original which was unsealed or stamped. . THE PUBLISHER: NISHIMURA YOHACHI NISHIMURAYA aka. Eijudoh: One of the press' most significant products was Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji which appeared between c. 1830 and 1833. See Wikipedia article below. . Although this print does not have the publisher's seal he was the one and only publisher of the FUGAKU SANJU ROKKEI series. . CONDITION: The work is an original period item now over 188 years old. . The impression is stunningly fresh colors strong solid and the registry is perfect. This is clearly a very early pull of the woodblocks. There is a blank margin on the lower upper and right edges. There is some 'roughness' or wear t all edges and corners. Please see our measurements for sheet & print size which is an exact match for the reference books & the Wikipedia listing. . VERSO: On the verso back side there are 2 small mended tears in the upper corners and a few small closed tears rubs or irregular edges all properly mended with Japanese Washi hand-made paper and rice glue. . There is some old rice glue remains along the edges of the print limited to the verso two slight discolorations: upper right which barely goes through to the front. Upper left a feint stain barely affects the front side. . By and large an exceptionally very good example of one of the most famous and iconic of Hokusai's prints. The print is ready for matting and framing which would exclude most of the small edge & corner issues. . There is a very minor bit of fading to the colors of the two small boats else the indigo-blue and pale blues background are very brilliant and excellent. . Please carefully review photos posted to our website. For reference purpose only we posted a photo from Terry's book as a point of interest see illus06.jpg. . REFERENCES: .

Hokusai Katsushika
Manga Books- Ehon Chusingura 1 volume by Hokusai Katsushika

It is bound with a stiff card covers with the image of a horse printed on to the front cover. It is illustrated with woodblocks - four diptychs depicting samurai . As I do not read Japanese I am unable to ascertain the publisher or date of publication but I believe it to be circa 1850 - 1900. The covers are lightly creased and soiled and there is foxing to the fore-edges and occasionally in the text. There is light thumbing to page edges. There are two lozenge shaped stamps on the first and last page with Japanese characters which may be those of a bookseller library or even customs. Generally a clean well preserved manga book.

Hokusai Katsushika
Manga Books - Ehon Chusingura 8 volumes by Hokusai Katsushika
Anonymous. Very Good. 8 volumes from Hokusai's manga work 'Ehon Chusingura' or the 'revenge of the 47 samurai'. I do not believe this to be a complete set but they all appear uniformly bound with stiff card covers embossed with various symbols and motifs of which is of Mount Fuji with stitched bindings. They are copiously illustrated in one colour woodblocks and there is one two colour woodblock - often depicting samurai but also including other subjects such as sumo wrestlers. There are approximately 140 pages of woodblock images of which a good number are diptychs. The number of woodblocks vary per volume from 8 to 20 - the text therefore being profusely illustrated. As I do not read Japanese I am unable to ascertain the publisher or date of publication but I believe them to be circa 1850 - 1900. The stitching is loose one or two volumes and on one volume the boards are almost detached. There is light soiling and wear to the covers but internally they remain clean and fresh with just the occasional bit of light off setting slight foxing to the fore-edge one or two volumes but the condition of these albums is generally very good.

HOKUSAI Katsushika.
SHAKA GOICHIKI DAI KI ZUE: The Story of Shakyamuni The Lord Buddha.
Osaka 1845 Kawachiya. Orange stitched wrappers 6 vol.set very nice copy in original and worn blue silk Chitsu clips lacking original title paper slip case used as inside cover to the Chitsu 17.5 x 25 cm. 2538383735342936 double leaves Japanese text 33 single & double page illustrations by the master signed: Zen Hokusai Manji Rojin. Excellent and strong impressions marvelous Buddhist illustrations text by Yamatoya Keizo. Profusely illustrated with some of Hokusai's best & most famous illustrations of the Buddha's life. This work is written in a Jataka stories of rebirth like format or true from stories from the Buddha's pasts. They show by example to the Sangha the Buddhist community what the "Righteous Path" is by telling stories with examples; showing right from wrong. Dukkha suffering is one of the main themes and the associated punishments for "wanting greed wrong livelihood and other sins" are herein illustrated. Most of the scenes are set in a tropical background with banana and other warm climate plants. Since the Buddha was from tropical India this work shows the Japanese idea of that setting. Sanskrit is also written appropriately but the Japanese text is for a lay public. Great serpents and daemons are illustrated as omens many of the people illustrated are in lavish Chinese or Korean gowns showing the movement of Buddhism from India through China & Korea as it progressed to Japan. Vol. 1 begins with illustrations of the Gods of the Elements: Sky Earth Wind Water Fire and a picture of the Lotus a flower that grows in the most filthy of atmospheres but sends up the most beautiful & fragranced flower representative of human life. Vol. II shows a great gathering of the Sangha as they see the young Shakyamuni standing on a lotus blower as the Heavenly Two-Headed Dragon blows his powerful breath upon the Buddha giving him life. Other great and holy Gods in the Heavens also look upon the Buddha as he is born of the Lotus. Later the powerful and older Buddha suppresses a wild elephant fights great horse-mounted warriors. Vol. III shows the Buddha as he is seated beneath the Bo Tree ficus religiosa as he speaks to disciples. One impressive illustration shows Shakyamuni as he meditates on a craggy rock with a gigantic four-eyed daemon who tries to distract him. Vol. IV shows Shakyamuni as an itinerant priest another shows great warriors with spears and lances being fended off by the Master's great radiant powers later one shows a Heavenly Demon holding a lance with a small lantern suspending a Sake bottle with a Swastika Buddhist design under which are two naked and highly emaciated men who float in black space likely for drinking too much.the last one show a sinner with face to the floor as each arm is held fast by the feet of two stick wielding Boddhisatvas as they thrash his backside as Shakyamuni looks on. Vol. V starts with a great prayer meeting of the Sangha as Shakyamuni displays two Mudras as two disciples sit on either side of him on a high pedestal while other Boddhisatvas look on; one beats the prayer drum & another hits the bronze gong while the others bow their heads in obeisance one single Bodhisattva looks to the sky as a great and Terrible Dragon flies over the whole Sangha. The next shows Shakyamuni on a great cliff while the Wind God does his best to blow the small Sangha away. In the next we are presented with an example of those that have been re-incarnated as half animal and human. The Shakyamuni looks upon a man with the "right livelihood" who is bone thin but is a Mochi maker rice pounder but does not eat animals while in the background sheep-faced animals with human bodies look on in the distant background is a man & woman that have human heads on horse-like bodies they are sinners. The last dramatic illustration has a black background with a warrior costumed Shakyamuni holding a long lance Naginada as he spears & tumbles a three-eyed demon in the night. Vol. VI shows the aftermath of a battle with broken arrows spears and two young women half naked--one is pulled by her Chignon and is about to be raped the girl is limp and clearly dead who is being hoisted by a warrior; many Naginada lances in the background. The next shows fourteen Boddhisatvas suppressing a gigantic fish as they thrash it with long poles.their hair style implies the Buddhist image. Next shows the God of Wind as he tries to evoke a Typhoon. The last shows a gigantic elephant as it carries a lotus with a small shrine on its back while being lead by attendants. STUNNING ART WORK & COMPOSITION BY HOKUSAI'S GENIUS: This work was inspired and superbly executed by Hokusai who was a devout Buddhist. He creates and expresses his faith by the stunning art work not found in any of his other works. Hints of this greatness were littered throughout his production of prints and books but this book exemplifies hi greatest artistic effort and supreme skill. He remains Japan's best and most uniquely creative artist. This is an exciting and great Buddhist work showing the stories and experiences of the Buddha as he went out into the world. An impressive and great artistic work by the old master 1760-1849. It is observed that near the end of Hokusai's life this work was one of the last twenty books he illustrated. In some way like so many Japanese of his time at age 81 he began to think of Buddhism and of his own life and where he wanted to go after he died. Eighty one was indeed ancient during this time. In a way this is possibly his own testament to becoming a Buddhist or a way to prepare himself for death All Japanese are born under Shinto Gods but die as Buddhist and assume Buddhist names posthumously. Hokusai had already signed his name: Manji Rojin Manji = Swastika a Buddhist symbol Rojin=an old man. Hokusai first used Manji in 1836 then with the publication of this work added Rojin to his name. This is significant. This work was originally issued in 1841 but re-issued in 1845. The re-issuance is also significant for Hokusai seldom re-issued many of his books. This is his only full study of Buddhism & clearly came at a time in his live when it was meaningful to his own future. Hokusai poured his heart and imagination out and this is a major success. Wonderful representations of the Life of the Buddha of Hell Temptation & the Eight-Fold Noble Path. RARITY: One of Hokusai's more obscure titles seldom found on the market. Today this remains one of Hokusai's rarest books when found complete and in good condition. Exceptionally rare. BIBLIOGRAPHY: L. Roberts: DICTIONARY OF JAPANESE ARTISTS p.48-9.

The building of traditional Japanese structures has been a highly guarded and most secret set of tradesman's techniques. These were never shared with strangers or competitors.

Therefore when Hokusai attempted to draw the methods and construction techniques he met substantial opposition from those who were the builders and designers.

This work then shows a good number of hitherto guarded subjects now exposed for the first time in print. . Hokusai takes us on a guided tour of some of Japan's most traditional and typical buildings.

Shows a number of Japanese and Chinese heroes as they struggle to suppress evil and encounter over- whelming robust and fierce opponents. Toki Kintaro struggled with a giant bronze-casted Buddhist temple Bell; other heroes struggle and fight with Inoshishi wild boar; tiger; suppressing a great wild stallion and huge spider; a giant dragon-snake; devils; Sumo; butchering one's enemy; haunted by living Yurei ghost; ogres; Fu-dog and one blood- curdling scene of a person holding a newborn baby by the feet over a boiling cauldron while he split it's stomach shows the blood flowing into the "soup" while a colleague looks on in delight; Buddhist saints and Goddess; seeking salvation refuge and Nirvana under a freezing cold waterfall in fervent prayer; suffering a barrage of arrows and assailants. . A most dramatic and emotional work of the strongest Heroes and most powerful warriors as they wield their all-mighty Samurai swords. Executed with the greatest of skill as only Hokusai could do. Contains one double-page preface thirty double-page and two single illustrations. The entire book printed on double-folded leaves by woodblocks printed on hand-made Washi paper. . Showing Hokusai's brilliant imagination and ability to fantasize. Books of this high caliber and unique subject condition and vintage are always S C A R C E. . THE ARTIST: KATSUSHIKA HOKUSAI 1760-1849: Hokusai was Japan's most famous Edo period illustrator of Japanese genre landscape scenery and of the daily lives and occupations of the commoners. His works are full of cheerfulness humor optimism and he had a knack of capturing the true nature of his time people and life style. He was affectionately called the "MAD MAN ON DRAWING" by the Japanese. His works continue to fascinate the world over ! . THE VARIANT EDITIONS: We have become aware of the fact that there is a strong possibility that each of the two variant copies may have slightly different plates. For example the current copy in hand does not have plates 212 nor 214 as cited in Hillier above. One needs to have the luxury of having both variants on their desk and compare page by page to note actual and complete differences. Our copy is consecutively numbered per Kerlen and so we know that it is complete but a variant to what Hillier saw in one of the museums cited on his "Acknowledgement" page. All other illustrations he cited are present. . BIBLIOGRAPHY: . A famous work cited in many standard references we list a few of the many works.: . J. Hillier: THE ART OF HOKUSAI IN BOOK ILLUSTRATION plates: 209 210 212 214 215; text on pp.227-231. Because Hiller understood this book to be of exceptional importance has devoted substantial space to this title which is part of a major trilogy on the subject of great Japanese and Chinese heroes. This genre was called the "Toshisen" and done in the final decade of Hokusai's artistic life 1840-1849. There are two versions of the First Edition relating to the first illustration opposite the title page: a. Sumi-zuri or black and white uncolored plate. b. Saishiki or colored version. The Saishiki type was strictly a made-to-order version for wealthy merchants; the Sumi-zuri being the more common of the two variants. H.

HOKUSAI Katsushika.
FUKUJU SOH: THE ADONIS PLANT. An Erotic Color Illustrated Woodblock Printed Boo
Japan circa 1868. Gold brocade green cloth covers clean accordion folded all edge silver gilt album: 17 x 25 cm. 12 double-page prints opens to 34 x 25 cm. Oban size with illustrated introductory page. EXCEPTIONALLY RARE EXAMPLE ! . . . . ONE OF HOKUSAI'S MOST FASCINATING EROTIC BOOKS . . . PROFUSELY COLOR ILLUSTRATED WOODBLOCK BOOKS . . . REVEALING ALL ASPECTS OF CARNAL LOVE-MAKING . . KATSUSHIKA HOKUSAI 1760-1849: . Hokusai was one of Japan's most celebrated loved and famous painters and woodblock print artist of the Edo period. He was fondly and commonly known as the "Mad Man on Painting." . The original was work printed around the late 1810's it was unsigned several variant editions are known most copies were lost or now unaccounted for. It is part of Hokusai's erotic trilogy. . This posthumous edition has been fashioned after the period original. It was meticulously woodblock carved and color-printed with utmost professional skill by the best artisans of the time. It has impeccable color impression and registry. . The book was printed in some twenty-odd different colors each color printed by a different woodblock. . An interesting proof of age is found on page six the rape scene. The girl's red under-Kimono was printed from a color made from finely ground iron oxide. The red has now turned to an iron-red patina with a dark purple hue. This common color was used at the beginning of the Meiji period 1868-1912 for most solid reds. Humidity content determines the amount of time it takes to give this patina on the average about 100-135 years for this reaction to change the properties of the iron forcing it to oxidize and change into a marvelous color and affect see scans posted to our website. . Although the book has a title slip it was intentionally left blank due to the subject being designated as "contraband" and banned by the Shogun as well as in the early Meiji era 1868. . ABOUT JAPANESE EROTIC ART: . A truly magnificent and unusual example of early Meiji polychrome printing. Most of the Shun Pon erotic books commonly call "Erotic Pictures of Spring" of this period show small images drawn from a distance with room decorations food bedding flowing robes furniture and outside scenery. . Shunga & Shunpon Erotic pictures & books reflect the "awakening" of human sexual desire after a long winter's sleep. Sex became an "art" used to stimulate enhance and evocative of love making. . THE CONTENTS: The work starts out with a double-page showing sliding Fusuma doors an invitation to voyeurism. The doors are subtly decorated giving no clue to the true nature of the contents useful for coercing young virgins to have a look.also the reason for no title slip. Each of the subsequent 12 double pages are devoted to the real subject of this book. The joy art & pleasure of love-making. . From the beginning of recorded time the Japanese were not a prudish people. In fact they held strong beliefs in and worship of inanimate sexual objects such as trees rocks and other things that showed a natural resemblance to the genitalia. These objects were collected & placed in shrines. Later some were carved from wood and stone and placed in special "fertility shrines" in Japan. Barren women often visited these shrines offering prayers to the Gods for fertility and evoked charms. Stories passed down over the centuries that some of the Monks or keepers of these fertility shrines or their priests were willing "assistants" of these "Gods" and gladly inseminated such vulnerable women. . The Japanese had an affinity with the natural expression of passion and lust. Rape of women alone along a pathway or in their own room was not uncommon. While some may truly object others feigned objection while in ecstasy see page #6. The book therefore beings when with point in mind. . Page one shows a very young woman. She has mounted an unseen suitor while she sits upon his gigantic penis her eyes are closed in the throes of ecstasy her lips are red with excitement and a very pale but obvious pink flush envelops her face. On the floor is the usual package of Chirishi or toilet paper used to wipe the aftermath. . The male's organ is huge and the veins are blue and popping her very excited vulva takes on the color of deep red and faint purple displaying the maximum color of excitement. While fully clothed her Kimono is open just enough to accomplish the act of love. To the Japanese partially clothed women with their genitals exposed was more erotic than a full nude.after all they did mixed public bathing for centuries. . Page two shows a couple. She is almost nude with just her red under Kimono draped over her stomach while he exposes his organ as he enters her from the "X" angle he cradles her from behind while holding her left breast. She pulls him from behind the neck to be close enough to share a tongue kiss rarely shown in Japanese prints. He inserts his tongue into her willing mouth as she holds his cheek fast. Her long and flowing hair is still tied with a black ribbon at the bottom suggesting that she is some kind of royal person. She also shows a pink flush to her mouth and vaginal lips. . Page three shows newlyweds. The woman still wears the traditional head gear of a bride. She holds a package of Chirishi in her lips ready for the flood of love juices that are already flowing out. The man enters her from the top while she willingly spreads her legs wide open. . Page four shows the woman on top in a contortion revealing the organs involved in love-making. . Page five shows the influence from an earlier Utamaro classic erotic work. The woman is on the bottom pulling the covers over her lover's bare back-side while they are making love in the winter. Her wooden platform pillow is ready as the are hidden from view by a small folding screen to keep cool the draft out. Her vermilion-red under Kimono is tangled with her outer Kimono. . Page six shows a ruffian raping a young girl. He is likely a common coolie all he wears is a "Fundoshi" or loin cloth which was easily moved to reveal his huge and erect penis. He has tumbled this innocent girl by pulling her foot from under her; then with his other hand inserts his organ into her. She is pushing his cheek away and attempting to pull his hand off her foot. What is ironical is that her face is flushed pink and her face shows no frown of rejection but her eyes are almost closed as she secretly anticipates the oncoming pleasure. For sure she must resist being innocent young coquettish and demure in an attempt to save face. It is important to note at this time that there exists a most similar print by Utamaro showing this very scene. Surely Hokusai was so impressed that as a tribute to Utamaro he utilized this stunning image in his own work the old adage "Copying is the greatest compliment." See more below regarding page six. . Page seven shows an unabashed nude couple enjoying a fully the pleasure of love-making sans restraints. In fact this must the a second or third time of love-making as noted the voluminous as the amount of expended Chirishi. It has been thrown about the room. It is known in Japan that after the first round of love-making if the man can wipe up love juices promptly enough a new erection can be achieved. The the drying of vulva will give the next round of love-making a new and more pleasurable sensation. . In this view the man enters from the rear while holding her fast his right foot is set and placed for maximum traction! . Page eight shows a couple engaged in love-making. The woman on top but with her back side facing him. Vis-a-vis each other to observe each other thus increasing the erotic passion. A tiny bit of silver color has accented her Kimono highly usual in any woodblock print. Of special note her toes are curled down in a fit of ecstasy! An exhibition of Hokusai humor ! . Page nine shows one of the most fascinating of all prints in this series. In the traditional "sixty-nine" position he has his tongue in her very excited and swollen purple-red vulva. She tries with difficulty to contain his very large penis with a dark pink-purple flush. Again this woman curls her toes in painful-erotic-ecstasy. Her expression shows her eyebrows in a frown as she enjoys the agony and ecstasy of wonderful carnal pleasures. . Page ten shows a mature couple nude she holds the tie-died head band in her mount to silence her cries of joy while she embraces her lover's neck. The spectacular view of the genitals fully engaged is stunning. The penis has its veins popping out while the lips of her vulva are flushed bright red the love juices flowing out. Her breasts are pointed downward revealing that she has given birth previously. Her her toes are curled in a passionate dream of pleasure. The pair both display a pink flush to their faces with very bright red lips. It is not common to see this in men. . Page eleven shows a couple preparing to make love. The man is on top displays a very large and erect penis while he sucks on her upturned breast. She is being manipulated to move her left leg up so he can then enter her open and eager waiting vulva. She clutches a handful of Chirishi in preparation for the flood of love juices. Her eyebrows are shaved with a faint pink flush just above her eyes has emerged from the excitement. . Page twelve shows a most unusual scene in the world of Shunpon. While lesbianism is not unusual in Japan openly depicting girls at such play are. This shows two ordinary nude women likely bored or abandoned by their male suitors have taken to the mutual pleasure of dildo play. One wears a huge and black penis tied about her waist. The other reveals her open and moist vagina clutches the penis while holding a few sheets of Chirishi. The other opens a tiny container with some sort of stimulating potion or lubricant. This will either be applied to the dildo or her partner's vagina. It seems clear the two girls have already shared this joy before. The girl grasping the dildo penis has already applied it to her partner and is now awaiting her turn to be "penetrated." . ATTRIBUTION: . The erotic book begins as usual without artist's name or title. By stylistic analysis and compared with many other signed Hokusai works its easy to understand who the artist was. . It is a long-standing tradition of most famous Japanese artists of the 17-19th centuries to create and discretely distribute banned erotic books and prints against Shogun laws. . Erotic books and prints were a quick cash resource for hard pressed artists regardless of how famous they were. Most all famous artists drew painted and provided artwork for woodblock-printed erotica. These earned immediate cash and the Shogun had a nearly impossible time proving guilt with unsigned materials. . ABOUT SHUNPON/BON & SHUNGA: Books of this erotic subject quality nature and rarity are seldom found on the open market. Shun=spring; Ga=picture; Pon/Bon=book. . Superbly colored in pastels prior to the very garish and bright advent and use of aniline dyes imported from Europe. Because Hokusai had lived during the life-time of Utamaro 1754-1806 he was influenced by this great master. . The most vivid example of this influence is found in number six above the rape scene. The original inspiration for this print was done by Utamaro in his most celebrated erotic album: UTA MAKURA: PILLOW OF SONG dated 1788. . Of this print Dr. Lane stated: "Utamaro's masterpieces.most impressive .series of twelve prints .this is one of the most dramatic scenes: a plebeian maiden being attacked by a middle-aged laborer and putting up stiff resistance" See Lane below. . The original Utamaro shows the exact same action with nearly identical composition; the man suppresses the girl by holding her left leg while she pushes his cheek away with her right hand.clearly Hokusai was so impressed with this superb composition and subject that he "borrowed" it in his own masterpiece. Note how even the man's "Fundoshi" loin cloth is in the exact format draped over his stiff penis. This is no coincidence ! This series and a few similar prints illustrated are found in Evans see below. . A RARE stunning and fantastic book of color erotica by Japan's master painter. . CONDITION: The over all condition is quite good with very minor amount of the usual period foxing. By and large this does not greatly detract from the over all images. Some images are in fine condition. On page #11 the print is about 5 mm. shorter at the bottom again this does not greatly affect the image. A small faint amount of transfer from the black is evident with a common result of books being folded and closed. . Overall the work is quite lovely and the viewer is exceptionally impressed by the fascinating and high quality of the subject images and drama. Please review photos posted to our website. .
