Two Shunga viewsKunisada "Playing cards"
andOne attributed to Toyoshige from an album of 12 lovers in front of decorative screens. This series has a wonderful scene within an scene framing of the screens- but only one of Fuji.
Both images from Ukiyo-e Gallery from thier shunga gallery. They have quiet a large selection of images- more available here than from some museum websites. Their descriptions of the condition of the prints can be quiet amusing such as this one for Utamaro, "The kiss":Very Good. Excellent colors. Margins trimmed; very minor soiling.
or Kunisada II, "Two couples under a blue umbrella" :Exceptionally clean for "shunga."
There is some information on each print but quiet enough, wiki commons also has quiet a lot of images but also not so much information. Anyone know of a good scholarly texts on this art form?
