réf. 44028501Edo n.d. ca 1830-40's. A group of 12 color woodblock print sheets: ca. 12.3 x 9 cm.;prints: ca.11.9 x 8.4 cm.all clean showing age excellent impression & registry no marks very nice examples in old album. AN OBSCURE SHUNGA ALBUM . . . EROTIC PRINTS FROM TWO SERIES MOST LIKELY THE ART WORK . . . OF EITHER KUNISADA I OR TOYOKUNI II . . . UNSIGNED AS USUAL . The book consists of pages from two series of Shunga erotic books:. As usual no Shunga erotica or Harubon erotic books were ever signed by the author as these were banned by the Shogunate. Nevertheless there was a proliferation of these 'contraband' books & prints printed through the Edo period 1604-1868 that were commonly distributed throughout Japan. . Three prints from JUNI KA GETSU NO UCHI TWELVE MONTHS OF THE YEAR and YON SHIKI NO UCHI THE FOUR SEASONS. The second to last print has no title. All of the above are clearly Edo period color prints. The second to the last print has no title but is clearly an Edo period item. The very last color print is a Meiji period work ca. 1870's. . We believe the two series originally consisted of 12 prints in all showing the erotic scenes of each of the twelve months. The same for the Four Seasons showing three prints for each of the four seasons. . Each print is clean more than likely from an accordion folded album or a usual printed book. All but 2 have the series title cartouche and a title cartouche indicating the season or month. The last two have no titles. . Each print is gently mounted to the book using typical Ace corners in white from the 1940-1950's period. . THE ARTISTS: Being unsigned by stylistic analysis and research we believe this book to be the artistic work of the two artistes cited below. . The book consist of the works of two famous woodblock print artists: of the period KUNISADA I & TOYOKUNI II. Because Kunisada I 1786-1864 was the star pupil of Toyokuni II since age 15 his works naturally are very similar to his master's style. In 1844 he took the name Toyokuni III therefore Kunisada I is the same person. He specialized in story books & portraits. He is well collected by world libraries & museums. See Roberts below. . Toyokuni II 1777-1835 may be the artist of one of the series. He also was a star pupil of Toyokuni I. He was a Ukiyo-e painter illustrator Bijin Ga pictures of B-beauties He is well collected by world libraries & museums. See Roberts below. . The last print clearly a Meiji 1968-1912 period work was again unsigned and unattributed. . EX-LIBRIS THOMAS K. TINDALE. Tindale was a famous author of the comprehensive book THE HANDMADE PAPERS OF JAPAN concerning Japanese Washi papers. The first fly leaf of this book has his embossed "Mon" or Japanese crest blind-stamped. See our book #360633 on our website. . This was among his collection which we acquired in the 1970's now being offered for the first time. . CONDITION: The book is in excellent condition it is an accordion folding album with brown silk cloth covers containing stiff Washi paper. . The front covers have a bit of old either worming or silverfish evidence of nibbled cloth in two places. It is minor and has been colored the same as the cloth so it is not a major issue with no damage to the interior pages. There is a small amount of loss to the cloth and the cover title slip is also a bit nibbled on the right edge again of no impact to the book or the prints. . The prints are clean polychrome woodblock printed in several colors with excellent impression & registry. Lovely miniature treasures. Each print is gently inserted in American "NewAce" white paper mounting corners. The prints can be easily removed from these corners. . There is one single print mounted to the right hand side of the book. The versos of the prints are clean the rectos fronts are also clean no damage marks or issues. The colors are vivid the red made from iron has nicely oxidized into a mellow brown-rust color indicating at least 100 years old. It takes 100 or more years for this color transition to happen this is a good sign of genuine Edo period examples. . Each print has excellent impression & registry indicating an early printing off the woodblocks printed in a high quality from expert printers/publishers again lacking any identifying seal as usual. . The last print Meiji period has been re-backed folded twice and old tear mended. . Please review the color photos posted to our website for more details. . THE ARTIST & BANNED BOOKS: . During the Edo period the Shogun banned books that were not inspected and or sanctioned. Erotic books were again contraband and never showed the true name of the artist nor publisher printers seals or logos. Therefore these Shunga Harubon are difficult to attribute any artist. The only way is an "educated guestimate" based on the artist's painting style. At best it is a close of an attribution as possible. Few are listed in Shibui or other bibliographies containing Harubon. . It our best estimate that these two books were the work of either Kunisada I and or Toyokuni II based on our over 55 years of tenure and experience. . Color photos are posted to our website. .

1634réf. 107041634. Several woodcut illus. in the text. 25 vols. Folio 346 x 230 mm. orig. wrappers rubbed & several with some wear three vols. with some staining occasional minor foxing orig. stitching. HansÅng: colophon in Vol. 2 dated 1634. Second edition 1st ed.: 1613 of a very great rarity “the greatest of all Korean medical treatises which devotes its last chapters to acupuncture and moxibustion.”–Lu & Needham Celestial Lancets p. 263n. It is considered to have one of the finest classification systems in traditional East Asian medicine. HÅ Chun 1539/46-1615 was a court physician of the Yangcheon HÅ clan during the reign of King Seonjo 1568-1608 of the Joseon dynasty in Korea. During the Japanese invasion of Korea 1592-98 HÅ faithfully accompanied the king through numerous difficult campaigns. Following the conflict the king commissioned HÅ to write a medical book for his citizens who suffered from post-war famines and epidemics. In 1610 HÅ completed his masterwork which was first published in 1613 an even rarer book. The Tongŭi pogam is divided into five broad sections: internal medicine four vols. external medicine four vols. miscellaneous diseases 11 vols. herbal remedies three vols. and acupuncture one vol. all preceded by a most useful two-volume Table of Contents. In the first section on internal medicine HÅ describes the interdependence of the liver lung kidney heart and spleen. The section on external medicine explains how the skin muscles blood vessels tendons and bones allow for movement and maintenance of posture. The part on miscellaneous diseases describes the symptoms diagnoses and treatment methods of various diseases. HÅ’s remedies rely on readily found medicinal herbs and plants and he provides impressively detailed instructions on how to extract maintain and consume the herbs. The last section explains acupuncture strategies. The work spread to other East Asian countries like China Japan and Vietnam and is still regarded as one of the classics of Asian medicine. “The Treasured mirror of eastern medicine was in fact one of the very few non-Buddhist works written outside China that achieved a wide circulation within China. It was written by HÅ Chun 1539-1615 as a summation of Korean medical knowledge and was printed in Korea in 1613. Copies were sent directly to China in 1721 and 1728 and a copy reached Japan in 1681. A revised edition was printed in Japan with glosses in 1724 and again in 1799; copies of the 1799 edition were sent to China via Nagasaki in 1811 and 1837. The Treasured mirror of eastern medicine was reprinted in China in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries either from the Korean edition or from one of the Japanese editions with the glosses removed. This was a rare sign of high esteem for a book written outside China.”–Peter Kornicki Languages Scripts and Chinese Texts in East Asia Oxford: 2018 p. 144. HÅ Chun remains famous in Korea today: there are several recently created television series and films about him and his achievements; a best-selling novel about him was published in 1990; and a museum in Seoul is devoted to his life and works. A very good “married” set with the first volume of miscellaneous diseases coming from another set. One volume has a hole to about ten leaves touching a few characters. â§ For an extended and excellent discussion of the contents and importance of this work see Yeonseok Kang “History and Characteristics of Korean Medicine” in Routledge Handbook of Chinese Medicine 2022 pp. 507-08. unknown
