Comments - Best known his landscape illustrations, Takahara Shunchosai, a contemporary of Harunobu and Koryusai, also produced just a handful of shunga prints during his lifetime. This original shunga print by Takahara Shunchosai is a very rare piece of 18th century erotica. Produced in the midst of the transition to multi-color printing, these prints were produced in white and partially colored by hand. Any one of these prints would make an excellent addition to a collection of someone interested in ukiyo-e or the shunga in particular.
