This book includes work by Kitagawa Utamaro (17531806) and Katsushika Hokusai (17601849), who produced erotic imagery as a standard part of their work. The erotic encounters depicted in shunga reflect multiple perspectivesmale, female, heterosexual, and samesex. There is a particular emphasis on sexual situations in everyday life: a wife catches her husband seducing a maid, a couple is spied on by a curious servant, and mice start copulating in imitation of the humans. Japanese erotic art was characterized by exaggeration and fantasy and, as one versewriter warns, The foolish couple copy shunga and pull a muscle. Shunga examines this underexplored area of Japanese culture and is fully illustrated with fascinating images from the rich collections of the British Museum, many of which have never been published before.
