Excellent colors and impressions!  The shunga also has some deluxe artwork features such as urushi-e (black lacquer; notably in the hair), and also bokashi shading.  Very good condition with a bit of wear and soiling.  No backing (aside from some remnants on reverse).  Please see and judge from photos.
 
A rare and provocative shunga masterpiece by Ikeda Terukata depicting an intense moment of double penetration - a theme seldom seen in traditional shunga.  The composition masterfully balances eroticism with elegance, as the woman's body arches in surrender, her expression hinting at overwhelming pleasure.  The male lover, dressed in a finely patterned blue kimono, penetrates the Japanese beauty anally, while simultaneously pleasuring her vagina with a hand-held harigata (Japanese dildo).  This bold and intricately detailed work stands as a rare example of Meiji-era erotic art pushing boundaries, while maintaining an air of refined sensuality.
