Comments |
Nude with a large tattoo of "shunga" by Utamaro, this print utilizes much of the same "block-set" of the
similar "Veranda/Engawa" design without tattoo. See our related Article #23 "The Making of a Print--Paul Binnie's 'Red Fuji'" to learn about Paul Binnie's works. Also, see John Fiorillo's webpage on
"Paul Binnie" to learn more about this talented Japanese-trained woodblock artist/printmaker. |
