Description
Isoda Koryūsai (礒田 湖龍斎, 1735-1790) was a Japanese ukiyo-e print designer and painter active from 1769 to 1790.
Shunga (春画) is a Japanese term for erotic art. Most shunga are a type of ukiyo-e, usually executed in woodblock print format. While rare, there are extant erotic painted handscrolls which predate ukiyo-e. Translated literally, the Japanese word shunga means picture of spring; "spring" is a common euphemism for sex.
A couple lies surrounded by robes and bedding, a folding screen in the lower left corner provides some privacy. He kisses her breast and pulls at the opening of her kimono while she covers her mouth with her sleeve, perhaps in embarrassed anticipation.
