Shunga - Erotic Figures in Japanese Art

Besides the colour reproductions of the greatest Japanese masters, the reader will find in this collection three complete works of Utamaro, Hokusai and Kuniyoshi, the first two of them very little known (except for some illustrations) and the third one even completely unpublished. If they were not to be considered as genuine works of art one might be tempted to take these short illlustrated novels for artistic 'comic strips'. In this respect, art has never been as erotic, or as accessible.
