83369Paris c.1930s. . Six gelatin silver prints 22 x 16 cm. Very good condition and with very good tone. Framed. <br /> A series of six nude studies showing the same model posing in the photographer's studio. The style of the photographs which artistically combines high and low art allows to attribute the authorship to the Grundworth studio which is known to have been producing erotic postcards in Paris from the 1890s to the 1930s. <br /><br />Like most of the studios engaged in production of erotic photographs and postcards of the time little is known about it as despite the widespread circulation of these cards their production and distribution was illegal in France hence anonymity was essential. Given the time span and a number of different styles the name is unlikely to represent an individual photographer but more likely a group of photographers who were perhaps better known but wanted to hide their real identities.<br /> [Paris, c.1930s]. unknown

Small 8vo orig. speckled semi-stiff boards boards rubbed orig. block-printed title labels on upper covers new stitching. Japan probably Edo: manuscript inscription dated “1832†at end of each volume.<br/> <br/> First edition and very rare; we do not find this book listed in WorldCat or in the Union Catalogue of Japanese Books. The Preface is signed by Akikei or Akikage Higashikuni.<br/> <br/> This work is an erotic version of Shiki no en an 18th-century group of songs on the four seasons of love from the Yamada ryu school of the Japanese harp koto. The poems of Haku Rakuten or Bai Letian 772-846 the Chinese poet of the mid-Tang dynasty are sources for the songs along with Japanese waka poems. Haku Rakuten “became the favorite poet of Heian times…He was the Chinese poet to whom allusions and from whom recollections were most frequent in Heian Japan. His verses were often used for kudai waka and he epitomized Chinese poetry.â€â€“Earl Miner et al. The Princeton Companion to Classical Japanese Literature p. 160.<br/> <br/> The first color-printed woodcut depicts a woman preparing to play the koto. There follows a series of erotic double-page woodcuts: kabuki actors young samurai Chinese characters and women of various social classes are shown engaged in sex through the changing seasons. It is fascinating to see the various rooms and their furnishings the participants’ costumes and the landscapes in the background.<br/> <br/> The fine woodcuts were clearly created by a member of the Utagawa school however we are unable to establish their artistic authorship.<br/> <br/> Very good set but with some thumbing. The second and third volumes have some worming touching several of the woodcuts. unknown

Japan: late Edo.<br /> <BR> <BR> A fine erotic scroll with 12 paintings the well-known “set of 12“ format in vivid coloring depicting a range of sexual activities. As in many shunga handscrolls the paintings feature a sequence of lovemaking positions in no apparent order with no development simply presenting a variety of couplings and sexual techniques. All the participants in this scroll have Heian-period hairstyles and several of the couples are clearly aristocrats. In the scenes the copulating figures are outlined only in black ink while their private parts and robes are vividly colored.<br /> <BR> <BR> In one scene we see a lesbian couple. One of the women is disguised as a man and the other woman is tied up but able to insert a dildo in her companion’s vagina. Three of the scenes depict ménage à trois situations involving one man and two women. In one of these scenes the man is having intercourse with a woman who appears to be a nun while at the same time performing cunnilingus on a very young woman.<br /> <BR> <BR> Fine condition preserved in an old wooden box.<br /> <BR> <BR> ⧠Akiko Yano “Shunga Paintings before the ‘Floating World’†in Timothy Clark et al. eds.

8539Scroll 210 x 3690 mm. endpapers of gold with silk brocade backing wooden roller. Japan: late Edo.<br /> <BR> <BR> This attractive scroll executed by a highly accomplished artist comprises of 12 erotic scenes the well-known “set of 12“ format in vivid coloring depicting a range of sexual activities. As in many shunga handscrolls the paintings feature a sequence of lovemaking positions in no apparent order. The scenes are finely painted with considerable detail employing much gold silver and other metallic pigments. Throughout the artist has used a fine brush to achieve great detail of fabric hair and faces. All the women have elaborate hairstyles and the kimono are very luxurious with many layers of fabric evident. We learn much about the variety of kimono and obi belts of the period.<br /> <BR> <BR> 1. The first scene shows a man with an erect penis seated behind a woman caressing her breasts underneath her kimono. The penis is highlighted with gold dust and one of the inner layers of her kimono is accentuated with the application of mica. Two maids or servants are seated on the other side of a screen listening attentively to the couple’s activities.<br /> <BR> <BR> 2.

Behind them is a beautiful landscape of rice paddies. The folds of the woman’s kimono are finely expressed.<br /> <BR> <BR> 3. This is a very beautifully executed scene of a man and woman having sex underneath a collapsed summer mosquito net. The ability of the artist to show the activity of the couple through the netting is remarkable. The woman’s hair is extremely mussed.<br /> <BR> <BR> 4. A naked man and woman are having sex with another woman observing the activity through a sliding door. The inevitable tissues are nearby. There is a small wormhole.<br /> <BR> <BR> 5. An older court lady and a young man are having an intimate moment with him masturbating her. The artist has used much mica and gold. The numerous layers of the kimono are revealed.

The paintings on the sliding doors are very beautiful. Tissues are nearby.<br /> <BR> <BR> 7. A naked man is masturbating a woman on an outside deck. The woman is wearing an open kimono. A harp is nearby.<br /> <BR> <BR> 8. This beautiful scene situated just outside of a tea ceremony room shows a man and woman engaged in sex. They are clearly having a secret meeting. Her kimono is extremely luxurious. We see a small part of the next room with a silver wall.<br /> <BR> <BR> 9. A man and woman are engaged in sex. The man is wearing a business kimono and in the background are fine pictorial screens.<br /> <BR> <BR> 10. A man and a woman both naked are engaged in sex while a “Peeping Thomasina†observes.<br /> <BR> <BR> 11. In this scene a man and four women are having an orgy.

This scene shows a man and woman in the missionary position. In the background is a most beautiful silk screen painted in gold depicting two cranes. There is another room with sake containers suggesting this scene takes place in a brothel.<br /> <BR> <BR> Fine condition preserved in a black lacquerware box with gold images and a metal clasp which has an unidentified family crest in the shape of a Paulownia tree.

9739Scroll 320 x 5250 mm. silk-brocade front outer endpaper with floral drawing in color at beginning wooden core roller. Japan: after 1823.<br /> <br> <br> <br /> <br /> The 12 finely rendered erotic drawings present on this scroll in the famous “set of 12†format have been attributed on the manuscript label of the scroll’s box to ChÅkyÅsai Eiri active 1790s-1801 a little known pupil of Hosoda Eishi 1756-1829 who for some years was an equal rival to Utamaro. ChÅkyÅsai Eiri produced an album of 13 large-size color woodblock prints entitled Fumi no kiyogaki Neat Version of the Love Letter or Pure Drawings of Female Beauty 1801 see Clark et al. Shunga pp. 310-11 & 400-01 for two images in the series and their descriptions.<br /> <br> <br> The underdrawings for six of the prints in the series drawings 1 2 3 5 partial 7 and 12 including the well-known image of two women using a dildo together are present. Drawings 8 9 10 and 11 can be identified as images from Hokusai’s FukujusÅ Adonis Flower ca. 1822-23. The remaining two drawings are independent images that might have appeared in other publications. The artist has placed small manuscript annotations on the images regarding colors.<br /> <br> <br> In spite of the manuscript information on the box’s label we believe these are highly skilled later copies.<br /> <br> <br> Fine condition.<br /> <br /> <br> <br> References<br /> <br> <br> Akiko Yano “Shunga Paintings before the ‘Floating World’†in Timothy Clark et al. eds.
