| A large Edo period set of 12 hand-painted amorous scenes performed in pigment on paper and mounted as a long hand scroll. It is 15 inches (39 cm) by 24 feet (7.3 meters) and comes enclosed in a fine black lacquered wooden box. Each scene is performed in typical fine Ukiyoe style. Each scene is roughly 13-1/2 x 18 inches (34 x 46 cm). There is some staining, toning and marks typical of age. See photos for more details. Although the paintings appear to be later Edo, the current scroll itself dates from the later Meiji period as evidenced by the paper used, which is of very high quality, mixed with genuine gold flake. | |||||||||||||||
