  • KYOSAI SHUNGA by Seigensha

Erotic art known as shunga, which emerged during the Edo period as part the ukiyo-e movement in Japan, was produced by almost all ukiyo-e artists at some point in their careers. Kawanabe Kysai, who was active in the second half of the 19th century, mastered a vast range of subject matter and styles, and also produced an extensive corpus of explicit shunga. The depiction of sex, the most basic of human activities, was naturally an opportunity for him to give free rein to his extraordinary wit and imaginative humour. This book offers an in-depth look at these artworks, their cultural context, and history, revealing Kysais prolific production as part of the culmination of the genre.

男色好み、放屁合戦、しかけ絵おもちゃ、松茸見立て...炸裂するユーモアとパロディー精神。世界初公開の決定版!暁斎の作品を集めた個人コレクションとしては世界最大であり、最も充実した内容を誇るイスラエル・ゴールドマンコレクションから、所蔵の春画作品をすべて収録。
