Shunga picture measures 18.2 cm x 12.5 cm.  Beautiful deluxe printing with mica embellishment and embossed details, adding both shimmer and texture to the design. Each of the 12 compositions is further distinguished by a separate Mount Fuji cartouche positioned above the erotic scene, providing a recurring visual motif that unifies the series.  Virtually mint condition with excellent colors and impressions.  No backing.  Please refer to photos.
 
Mizuno Toshikata was one of the leading woodblock print artists of the Meiji period and a student of the great Tsukioka Yoshitoshi.  Although particularly celebrated for his bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women) and historical subjects, Toshikata also produced accomplished erotic work.  This c.1900 series displays the refinement associated with his work: elegant figures, delicate coloration and luxurious use of mica and embossing.
