Description: Unveil the historical allure and artistic mastery with this remarkable collection of twelve Shunga (erotic) Ukiyo-e (Japanese woodblock prints) scrolls, a treasured release from an esteemed family's private collection. These meticulously hand-painted scrolls showcase the depth of human emotion and the delicate intricacies of intimacy, portrayed through the traditional Ukiyo-e art form, blending both Shunga and Bijin-ga (beautiful women) elements.

Each of the twelve scenes is intricately depicted, offering a unique narrative and artistic style, reflective of the period's appreciation for beauty and the ephemeral moments of life. The entire scroll extends to a length of 318cm, though due to natural sagging from age and the method of display, the actual length may indeed be longer.
