Subject:Erotic Art Book
Posted By: Steve Fri, Jan 02, 2015 IP: 71.223.134.88
Looking for some help with translation of title, and possibly dating this book and/or identifying the artist. Thank you in advance ;)

It's a Japanese illustrated shunga book from ca. 1800.

I read the title as 'Yuki no Yamashina' (雪の山科, "Snow in Yamashina").

Japanese erotic books and woodblock prints ('shunga') circulated in great numbers in Edo society and were often designed by wellknown ukiyo-e artists (in case of shunga, signing with an alias).

Does your book has a printed colophon at the inside?

Guy.

Nothing that looks like a printed block, there's some writing in the margin on the first page, nothing through that looks like a name, there's actually not a lot of pages, the pages are very thin with a thicker brown paper inside them

Could have been an anonymous and rather cheap sumizuri (B/W) publication. Find no further direct references.
