Shunga: Is the most comprehensive informative book ever written on the subject, a true Masterclass. Beautifully and lavishly illustrated, it traces the influences that came from many sources, including various religions and the Kama Sutra. Shunga uniquely places the images into groups that relate to different sexual practices, allowing the reader to find his or her area of erotic interest. It explains the cultural forces behind some of the Shunga images and why the Japanese find them so erotic, and reveals the influence of Shungas on some of the great Western art movements, such as Impressionism. A valuable guide for museum visitors, anyone interested in the art of Japan, and connoisseurs of erotic art.
