Original After Hokusai Japanese Woodblock Print
Antique Meiji era Color Shunga print

Comments - A beautiful Meiji era series based off of Hokusai's ground breaking shunga album "The Adonis Plant". Recognized as one of the great masterworks of erotic Japanese art, the original prints from Hokusai's series command prices upwards of $5,000 or more when found in the market. Hokusai's influence is abundantly clear in this series, as a Meiji artist has recreated the series with his own brush, mirroring each of Hokusai's series with the twelve couples depicted throughout. Note the hand applied white mica details - a high quality detail mimicking Hokusai's series.

Artist - After Hokusai

Image Size - 13" x 9 1/2"

Condition - With excellent color and detail. Toned as shown. Some spotting in subject. Please see photos for details. Good overall.
