Shunga: Aesthetics of Japanese Erotic Art by Ukiyo-e Masters (Japanese Edition)

Shunga: Aesthetics of Japanese Erotic Art by Ukiyo-e Masters (Japanese Edition)

Shunga portrays the erotic expression of a couple with pleasures and pains, and the beauty of their bodies with the finest Japanese woodblock print technique. It is a type of Ukiyo-e, which was especially all the rage among people in the Edo period (17th-19th century). Almost all ukiyo-e artists made shunga at some point in their careers.

This big book of 586 pages features various Shunga works by masters of Ukiyo-e artists such as Hokusai Katsushika, Utamaro Kitagawa, Kuniyoshi Utagawa, Kiyonaga Torii, and Eisen Keisai. The magic by Kazuya Tkaoka, art director for this book, and our succesful title Hokusai Manga, makes this book a one-of-a-kind Shunga collection. English and Japanese.
