    You are having a great time, Chris!!

    On the second woodblock - appears to have been cut out of something (a book? maybe?) I say that because of the printing on the back and the fact that the right side has no margin. Do they both have that printing on the back?

    Chris, I was just teasing you! (I know that erotica has been big business in Japan for a very long while!)
    I really just hope that you're having a fantastic time!
