Weighing the Goods of Love (Enshoku shinasadame) : [volume 1]
Weighing the Goods of Love is a Japanese illustrated book of erotic woodblock prints (shunga) by Utagawa Kunisada, published in Edo in 1830 for an adult male readership. Its pictures show intimate couples in richly patterned interiors, with luxurious kimono fabrics, folding screens, and cherry blossom motifs that a designer could draw on for dense textile pattern and ukiyo-e colour work.
