Japanese Prints Online - The Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts provides an on-line catalogue for its collection of 18th- and 19th-century Japanese prints, which includes over 600 prints made by Japanese artists between the middle of the 18th century and the turn of the 19th century.
Moreover, some parts of the collection were probably lost or destroyed. Kitaev wrote:
". . . being a bridegroom and wanting to spare the feelings of my bride who would later see the collection, I discreetly gave away a large group of erotic pictures (shunga) to the person who was with me on the cruise. If I remember correctly it was Lieutenant S. Hmeleff, who may have died in the battle at Tsushima."
