<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JayBee, post: 434562, member: 9259&quot;]A little late as the initial post is from 2017, but since I just joined, in case anyone else trips over this thread: This his Chinese, not Japanese. These paintings are called (in Chinese,) Chun Hua, or &quot;Spring Paintings&quot; and in Japanese &quot;Shunga.&quot;&nbsp; The albums are called &quot;pillow books.&quot; The particular one you bought was cheap because it&#039;s not an antique. The three characters on the cover read &quot;Chun Hua Gong.&quot;</p><p>These albums are being mass produced in China these days and made to look old... Same with erotic jades and most &quot;Hong Shan&quot; (style) pieces that can be found on eBay these days. The Chinese are experts at copying everything and found out over the last decade that sex sells... There are some neat pieces around, even copies, and &quot;real fake antiques&quot; nonetheless... Sometimes, the best thing to focus on is simply: If you like it, by it --- if you can afford it of course... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
