About the Item

An antique Japanese Shunga woodblock print in gilt frame depicting a man and a woman making love. Created in Japan, this woodblock print called a Shunga and depicting a couple making love, derives from an erotic artistic tradition featuring graphic images of sexual activity.

Showcasing grey, pink, red and black tones, this Shunga woodblock print is set inside a gilded frame and secured under glass.
