Taki, Shûsui (瀧 秀水) (1938 - )

Yuen no kaori 湯炎之香 Perfume of steam

October, from the series Musume junikagetsu soroi (娘十二ケ月揃) - Girls, 12 months series, self-published in 1980.

Comment by the artist: A girl in love. When the steam touches her skin, it turns to flame. Her bottom shows faintly through the scarlet - colored underskirt, at the upper part of which chrysanthemum flowers bloom all over as if intoxicated by the fragrance.

Euro 960
