Utamaro Kitagawa "E-zōshi Warai Jōgo" Reprint Edition, Case-bound Japanese Book ◆ Shunga (Erotic Prints), Erotic Book, Wajirushi Product Description This is Utamaro's "E-zōshi Warai Jōgo." The item for sale is from the Japan Art Publishing Company, which published such underground publications in a private edition style. It was issued under the supervision of Kazuhiko Fukuda, a leading figure in this field. It is a high-quality printed book using paper with a crepe-like texture, similar to chijimi washi (creped Japanese paper). Published in 1984, over 40 years ago. Nowadays, it's common for such printed materials to be published without black bars or blurring of the genitals, but at the time, it was still common to use black bars. This is a very rare item for its time, as it was published without any modifications. It is in the form of a thread-bound Japanese book and is stored in a luxurious cloth-covered case. There are stains on the title slip and around the paper, so it is being offered at a low price. For those who are interested, please take a look. Notes The book is stored in a cloth-covered case. There are stains on the title slip and around the paper (see images). The text pages are clean. The title slip says "Volume 1," but this is a serial number for this publishing series, and the original "Warai Jōgo" is complete in this one volume.
