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 woman is on top of her lover and in full control as she squeezes him tightly around his neck. In the foreground is a tobacco pipe and pouch, in the background is her sewing kit.
