Untitled Book of Erotica (Shunga)
An untitled Japanese shunga album of erotic woodblock prints made by Utagawa Toyokuni in about 1798, most likely for private viewing by adult male and female readers in Edo. The pictures show couples in interiors with poem-like text panels and patterned robes and bedding, so a designer might borrow the bold line work, flat colour areas, and the layout of text beside image on the double-page spreads.
