Japanese Shunga Woodblock Print

Well-handled print with ragged edges, bright red mats, and a tea set looking away.

This shunga woodblock print is from Japan, and dates to the early 20th century. It is ink on paper. A Japanese print is generally the work of a team, with an artist, a block carver and a printer each handling a separate stage. A small bird panel sits at upper left. It is 6.7 inches wide and 5.1 high.

Rough around the edges, and rather proud of it.
