‘Horny geisha‘ (c.1820s)
Unknown Territory
A secret appointment between an experienced geisha and a young lover near the shore. She is impatient and moves her right hand into his kimono. He is reticent because love is still unknown territory to him.
Pillow
A geisha prepares for intercourse by moving the takamakura (pillow), so that she can lay her neck comfortably, and directing the client’s penis towards her private parts.
Grim
A love-making couple in the straightforward pose. His grim look betrays that he is really trying to do his best.
