Narusawa Isao  成沢功 - 1 Original colour drawing - Abunae

Description: A rare and highly collectible original hand-painted watercolour illustration by Narusawa Isao (成沢功), one of Japan's most celebrated masters of erotic illustration and manga art (gekiga). This is a genuine one-of-a-kind original artwork — not a print or reproduction — bearing the artist's original handwritten signature (直筆サイン) in white paint in the lower right corner. About the artwork: The composition depicts a sensuous young woman in a yellow-green string bikini, glancing back over her shoulder with a confident, alluring expression. Her figure is set against a dramatic backdrop of deep orange-red and smoky black, with large peony-like flowers in soft purple, yellow, and pink blooms surrounding her. The work demonstrates Narusawa's masterful command of figurative watercolour — his signature bold linework combined with delicate flesh tones and rich atmospheric colour washes are immediately recognisable to collectors of Japanese illustration art. The piece bridges the traditions of Japanese bijinga (美人画 — beauty portraits) and contemporary erotic illustration, reflecting the distinctive aesthetic that made Narusawa a defining figure in Japan's adult manga and illustration scene. About the artist — Narusawa Isao (成沢功): Narusawa Isao is a highly regarded Japanese illustrator and manga artist, widely recognised as a leading figure in Japanese erotic art. His original works are increasingly sought after by collectors of Japanese illustration, manga art, and contemporary figurative art both within Japan and internationally. Presentation: The original artwork is presented on a black mount board, protected by a sheet of tracing paper, and housed in a hard clear protective case — ready for safe storage or framing. The illustration can be removed from the tracing paper protective layer. No frame is included.
