Item from the Mokuhankan Flea MarketParody of Morals for Women Size: 27.5cm by 18.5cm (10.83 in by 7.28 in) | Enlargement | Shipping Code: [M] ? Designer: Rekisentei Eiri Era: Taisho | Currency: $ / £ / € Price:  Description: Part of a monthly subscription series of three woodblock prints issued by the Yamato Hanga Kanko-kai in ca. 1924. This is a comic take on women's morals, promoted in popular Edo-period handbooks known as Onna Imagawa. The poem in the upper left-hand side of the print seems to encourage "looking down on your husband, placing yourself high (in importance), and forgetting heaven", an opposite version of what an Onna Imagawa might direct a reader to do. In the accompanying illustration, we see a version of the poem playing out. A courtesan meets with a lover who has sneaked in during the night. She peers back into her room, where her customer is sleeping, making sure they haven't woken him up ... This print has slight toning in the upper part and a few white marks at the bottom right. Also, there are traces of glue removal on the back of this print.         Browse thumbnail pages of various selections from the catalogue ...
