Notes |
A shy adolescent boy is encouraged to loosen his sash by an experienced woman, watched by another woman from the next room. Harunobu's signature appears on the folding screen, and this is probably the relatively discreet 'cover sheet' for a folding album of (typically) 12 erotic subjects. (Label copy, TCC 1998) In the Ukiyo-e world of fleeting, floating pleasures, clocks in a composition were generally a signifier of transient meetings between courtesan and client. This is the opening, non-explicit, sheet from an erotic album showing an adolescent youth being seduced by an older woman. (Label copy, TTC 2000) |

[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. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
