Condition: very good. n.p. c1930? Four ink and wash drawings on light card from about 10x22cm to 22x18cm. The first titled in pencil (Iede Musume no Nu-chan dai 5 kai translates as Runaway Daughter Nu-chan part 5). One to three are numbered in pencil; number three includes some embossing. Four engaging and stylish small drawings… which I take to be magazine illustrations for chapter five of a jazz age story all too familiar - the corruption and downfall of an innocent young woman. All very much ero-guro-nansensu (erotic grotesque nonsense) fashion of the late Taisho and early Showa period. The story of Nu-chan and where it might have appeared remains a mystery to me but I really want to see it all. Could it be there was a happy ending?Moga = modern girl.
