The era and author are unknown.
The mysterious Shunga
Overwhelmingly loose.

We leave the more concrete shunga to others, and here we have comical and cute ones. "Can I see this?" I was intrigued by the cover, but didn't have high expectations for the contents, so I asked to see the scroll. The shop owner immediately replied, "We have Edo!" He continued, "Hey, I like it, big brother. ○△□%×÷$..." I don't remember what the shop owner said, but I'm sure I was grinning when I unfolded the scroll and looked at it.

I'm not sure if it's from the Edo period or not. But I'm drawn to comical and cute things, regardless of the era. I never thought I'd be able to get hold of so many shunga that would make me grin. I was half interested in selling them, of course, and the other half wanted to show them off.
