This publication offers the reader a ravishing selection of erotic prints ("shunga") by the first full-color woodblock-print masters: Suzuki Harunobu (c. 1725-70) and Isoda Kory{sai (act. c. 1764-88). It is based on a private collection of prints of remarkable quality, their radiant colors perfectly preserved by the albums in which they were kept. The first volume in a popular series on erotic prints by famous Japanese woodblock-print artists, this book contains a detailed general introduction to the genre of "shunga." In addition to a description of the historical and cultural settings of the prints, it focuses in particular on the locations and interiors where the erotic action takes place.

In early modern Japan, thousands of sexually explicit paintings, prints, and illustrated books with texts were produced, euphemistically called spring pictures (shunga). Frequently tender, funny and beautiful, shunga were mostly done within the popular school known as pictures of the floating world (ukiyo-e), by celebrated artists such as Utamaro and Hokusai. Erotic Japanese art was heavily suppressed in Japan from the 1870s, and as a result it has only been made possible to publish unexpurgated examples in Japan within the last 20 years. This publication presents this fascinating art in its historical and cultural context, drawing on the latest scholarship and featuring over 400 images of works from major public and private collections.

• A full-color collection of Eastern erotic art that presents lovemaking as a highly spiritual expression. • Brings together some of the finest examples of erotic art from India and Nepal, including pieces from the private collection of Nepalese royalty. • Includes commentaries and translations of verse from authentic Tantric treatises. • Companion book to The Erotic Sentiment in the Paintings of China and Japan. Hindu culture has always viewed lovemaking as one of the highest forms of spiritual and artistic expression. In the past it was customary to present newlyweds with beautifully painted erotic manuals on their wedding night. These "pillow books," often illustrated by great artists, helped to break down barriers and initiate the young couples into the aesthetics and techniques of physical love. A variety of pillow books are represented in The Erotic Sentiment, bringing together some of the finest examples from India and Nepal, including pieces from the private collection of a Nepalese king. Accompanying these exquisite reproductions are commentaries and translations of verse from authentic Tantric treatises. Together with the paintings, they elevate physical love to the spiritual realm of joyous ecstasy.

"Shunga, or "images of spring," are erotic polychrome engravings produced for the pleasure-loving society of Japan. Painted by the masters of the Ukiyo-e school during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, the Shunga served a number of purposes: illustrations for love novels, instructive albums for young wives, or even lucky charms for warriors." "This book offers readers a collection of rare prints never before published, enriched by succinct, highly informative captions, as well as text introducing the various periods and defining characteristics of the genre."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
