‎UTAGAWA SCHOOL ARTIST‎

‎SHUNPON: A SET OF 2 OF 3 COLOR WOODBLOCK PRINTED EROTIC BOOKS‎

‎Japan n.d. ca 1830's n.p. Stiff stitched wrappers vols. 2 & 3 of a 3 vol. set lacks vol. 1 18 double folded leaves Japanese text 5 double page 2 single page color platesbit of minor cover rubbing else solid & clean. FIRST EDITION . . . AN EROTIC CLASSIC BY THE UTAGAWA SCHOOL . . As usual this "SHUNPON" erotic illustrated woodblock printed book is unsigned. See below for more about this. . This and most other "SHUNGA" erotic print and "SHUNPON" were never signed by the artist using his true name. It was a common practice to use an ironic or humorous name in poking fun at the Tokugawa Shogunate who forbid erotic and anti-government publications. . ATTRIBUTION: Stylistic analysis of Japanese artists can be used to recognize the artist or his "school""style" by carefully examining a large number of examples. To that end we strongly feel this is either the work of Utagawa Kuniyoshi or the "Kuniyoshi" school meaning his followers or students. . THE SET: This set was issued in 3 volumes. We have volume 2 & 3 only. The work is nicely woodblock printed in full color. . THE CONTENTS: From volume 2 shows a girl with her vagina open and exposed. A voyeur is outside and peeps through a Fusuma sliding door most likely at the couple in the next room. . This shows a double-page illustration of a sleeping young man holding a Shamisen. He sports an enormous erection he is being held by a young girl who's vagina is exposed and she is ready to insert her lover's erect penis. . The next shows a couple preparing to make love. They are embracing each other tightly her vulva is exposed and his large erect penis is protruding from his Kimono. . The view shows the couple just after they made love. She erotically holds a wad of "Chirishi" hand-made tissue Washi toilet paper in her mouth while wiping her wet vagina. Her lover looks outside. The next shows her once again in the throes of rapture as she flows much vaginal juice while he pumps her into orgasm. . Vol. 3 begins with two young women in the public bathing house. Both are nude one is carefully washing her vagina with a cloth and using a water bucket. The other combs her hair her vulva fully exposed. . The next shows a couple preparing to make love. He is on top of his prostitute. He has inserted four fingers into her vagina while a cat observes. . Another man is shown in an adjacent room asleep. . RARITY OF "SHUNPON": Books of this subject reflect the "natural" pension and attitudes of 19th century Japan vis-a-vis nudity and sex. The Japanese have always been very "natural" open and easy going about sex and casual relationships. . The art work is ski fully executed by Kuniyoshi or one of his followers. The landscapes human anatomy and portraiture show a keen knowledge and experienced skill. . THE SIZE: These are 12 x 8 cm. . REFERENCE: NOT LISTED IN: SHIBUI Kiyoshi.: ESTAMPS EROTIQUES PRIMITIVES DU JAPON:GENROKU KOHANAGA SHU-E . It is not surprising this and a plethora of other Japanese Shunga Shunpon Erotic prints & books are not listed in Shibui. While he lists many there are even more not listed in his book or any other reference book on the subject. . Erotic books were "suppressed" by the Tokugawa Shogunate therefore the majority of these kinds of books & prints were published on the 'black market' and not distributed openly. They remain on the 'fringe' of publication. There were stiff penalties for artists block cutters and publishers of this category of woodblock printed work. . . unknown‎
