顺佳浴室-Isoda Koryusai

-Isoda Koryūsai (礒田 湖龍斎, 1735-1790) was a Japanese ukiyo-e print designer and painter active from 1769 to 1790.
Shunga (春画) is a Japanese term for erotic art. Most shunga are a type of ukiyo-e, usually executed in woodblock print format. While rare, there are extant erotic painted handscrolls which predate ukiyo-e. Translated literally, the Japanese word shunga means picture of spring; \"spring\" is a common euphemism for sex.
The last sheet depicts a group of figures on a smaller scale with a similar compositional balance as the first sheet. Even though almost everyone is completely nude, the scene is partially innocent depicting men and women of all ages in a public bath house. A young woman at the far left is enjoying a massage, and returning the favor. At the right is a young man who is aroused by the view and to his side is a fully-clothed older man- most likely the proprietor of the house. There were mixed public bath houses until they were banned during the Kansei Reforms (1787-93).
