Notes |
Buckland 2010 Couples in shunga often choose 'risky' places for their secret encounters, and are fearful of being caught. The veranda which wrapped around traditional architecture is one such locale. The energetic thrust of the young man's love- making here pushes the woman back into the room, and she braces herself on the door. The surging waves on the screen painting echo the powerful sensations. |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
