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

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. This type of ukiyo-e was especially popular in the Edo period (17th-19th century) with many ukiyo-e artists producing shunga at some point in their careers. This large-format book features various Shunga works by masters of ukiyo-e such as Hokusai Katsushika, Utamaro Kitagawa, and Kuniyoshi Utagawa.
