1830215738Japan. 1830 -1860. Folded black and white kawaraban woodblock with map showing Tokyo's red light districts. 30.3 x 39.4cm. Light rubbing in one place upper margin a little worming and small closed tear in lower margin. Sheet has been backed with washi. Good copy. This late Edo period kawaraban print provides a wealth of information on the diverse aspects of sexual behaviour and attraction between men and women during this era. Following the traditional kawaraban style the print offers a detailed and varied glimpse into the lives of the time. A fascinating map of Edo's red-light districts playfully drawn with phallus-shaped lines occupies the lower centre. Eight different types of sexual toys are displayed on the left while service fees for brothels are listed above the map. The print even delves into compatibility between the sexes based on zodiac signs along with methods for predicting a baby's sex before birth. During the Edo period eroticism was viewed as another form of popular entertainment particularly for men and was widely accepted as a pastime for adults. . unknown

89219N.p. s.i.; Privately Published ca. 1930s. No. 141 of the numbered limited edition of 500 copies 300 for America 200 for England & the Continent. Undated facsimile reprint of the second Carrington edition 1898. Two octavo volumes; quarter-cloth of blue paper-covered boards; xl1-343; xxiv1-502pp. Boards slightly soiled with a rather conspicuous ring-stain to front cover of v.II; else just lightly worn and internally fine. <br /> <br /> For "anthropology" read "prurient literature." For "untrodden" read "suspect." For "esoteric" read "naughty." For "customs" read "sex acts." For "French Army-Surgeon" read "Probably Charles Carrington." A classic Victorian erotic text masquerading in the form of a French anthropological treatise first brought out by Carrington in 1897 and here reprinted clandestinely lacking any genuine imprint so as to foil the censors. Lacking an imprint but almost certainly a production of one of the notorious New York bookleggers of the Thirties the most likely suspects being Esar Levine's Panurge Press or the closely associated Falstaff Press operated by Ben Rebhuhn. This was one of several Depression-era reprints. unknown
