This fine illustrated work by Utagawa Kunisada (歌川国貞) presents a unique depiction of life in a temporary pleasure quarter established after the destruction of Yoshiwara. Published in 1996 by Gakken, this is a facsimile edition of an original Edo-period shunga first issued in 1836 (Tenpō 7). The book documents the fleeting atmosphere of a provisional pleasure quarter (karitaku), capturing scenes of urban chaos, human desire, and the unusual coexistence of everyday life with supernatural elements. The compositions are particularly distinctive, featuring bustling fire-disaster crowds, intimate scenes viewed through lattice windows, and even ghostly appearances. Regarded as one of Kunisada’s most refined erotic works, it is not only artistically compelling but also an important cultural document of Edo-period customs and urban life.
