A Bedside Guide to the Colors of Love in Spring (Shunshoku neya no shiori) : [volume 2]
A Japanese erotic woodblock picture book, one of a series of illustrated volumes, made by Utagawa Kunisada in Edo in 1850 for a private readership. The pictures are sensual, staged interiors of rooms with tatami floors, painted screens, lanterns and patterned textiles, drawn in flat colour with strong outlines and rich printed patterns that a designer could take from for textile and interior compositions.
