Ukiyo-e Shunga, depicting its rightful form without being entangled in the barren debate between art and obscenity, is the realm of beauty created by ukiyo-e artists from masters like Shunsui to successive generations. The extent of their passion poured into this art form is eloquently narrated by their works above all else. This book and its slipcase are bound in yellow cloth, with black embossed letters on the spine and the English title simply embossed on the cover. The Kanji title is embossed in orange. The book measures 33.5 x 26.5 centimeters (the slipcase measures 34.2 x 27.5 centimeters). It weighs over 4 kilograms in total. It extensively discusses Ukiyo-e Shunga, accompanied by numerous photographs, in both Japanese and English. Despite its age, it is in remarkably pristine condition, with hardly any noticeable damage. - Shipping method I ship by Japan Post or Yamato Transport.
