It is in very good condition with vibrant colors and with light discoloration from appropriate age
Photographs are taken in natural light while this screen.

History of Japanese Shunga Art:
Shunga is a Japanese term for erotic art. Most shunga are a type of ukiyo-e, usually executed in woodblock print format. While rare, there are extant erotic painted handscrolls which predate the Ukiyo-e movement.] Translated literally, the Japanese word shunga means picture of spring; “spring” is a common euphemism for sex.
