7716Seven double-page one of which has flaps & folds out into a four-panel scene and two single-page woodcuts all finely color-printed and nine double-page black & white woodcuts. One color-printed title-page pasted down on inner upper wrapper 24 folding leaves. Small 8vo orig. color-printed upper wrapper with embossing decorated lower wrapper new stitching. Edo: Preface dated 1864.<br/> <br/> First edition and very rare; we find no copy in WorldCat. The Preface was written by Tanekiyo Ryusuitei 1823-1907 using his pen name “Insuitei.†<br/> <br/> Following one of the frequent fires in the famous pleasure quarters of Yoshiwara often started by the prostitutes in an effort to free themselves many brothels temporarily re-established themselves in other locations throughout Edo. This book was issued as sort of a guide to the newly relocated brothels and very much reflects the changes that shunga books were going through during the end of the Edo period.<br/> <br/> The first double-page woodcut depicts the exterior of a thriving brothel in Edo with many prostitutes within looking out to the numerous passing men and women on the bustling street. This opens up into a four-panel image of the interior of the brothel showing men being entertained and engaging in several sexual activities. The following six double-page woodcuts depict the “star†prostitutes all engaged in sex with the names of the brothels where they worked. All the rooms shown are very luxuriously furnished with silk screens ornate fabrics and beautiful furniture. These woodcuts are all printed in richly saturated colors including silver and gold pigments and with complex embossing.<br/> <br/> The cult of sex organs where phalluses are objects of veneration and worship is also exhibited here in a most uncommon image. The final color-printed woodcut — single-page — depicts an altar inside the brothel where a phallus is the center of worship. Envelopes containing cash left by clients are piled in front. See Suzuki Kenko’s most fascinating “Popular Cults of Sex Organs in Japan: Guardian Deities Auspicious Objects and Votive Paintings†in Timothy Clark et al. eds. Shunga. Sex and Pleasure in Japanese Art British Museum: 2013 pp. 364-67.<br/> <br/> The text section contains nine very interesting double-page black-and-white woodcuts showing elaborate scenes of entertainment men and women having “intimate moments†the aftermath of sex with copious dribbling secretions used napkin wipes on the floor etc. These scenes can be described as “action-packed.â€<br/> <br/> Fine and fresh copy. One black-and-white woodcut has two small holes. unknown
771516 double-page & four single-page color-printed woodcuts. 13; 11; 9 folding leaves. Three vols. 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
