Beautiful Shunga - Hokusai and Utamaro, the erotic contest of love -

About the productJapanese

"Shunga," which depicts human sexuality, depicts men and women in a carefree and sometimes humorous manner. During the Edo period, they were also called "warai-e," or "laughing pictures," and as ukiyo-e became more widespread, they were enjoyed by men and women of all ranks, from feudal lords to commoners.
"Beautiful Shunga - Hokusai, Utamaro, Competitive Exchange -" will be held at the Hosomi Museum of Art in Kyoto from September 7th to November 24th. In addition to prints and woodblock prints, the exhibition will focus on one-of-a-kind "hand-painted shunga," and will introduce works that have been known to exist in books and other media but have not been exhibited in museums until now. Among them, Katsushika Hokusai's legendary masterpiece "Hand-painted Nami Chidori" has not been shown to the public for a long time since it was exhibited in Paris in 1976, and this will be its first time being exhibited in a Japanese museum.
This is the catalog for the exhibition "Beautiful Shunga - Hokusai and Utamaro, Competitive Exchange."
Enjoy to your heart's content the book selection of approximately 70 beautiful shunga, including Kitagawa Utamaro's masterpiece, which overturns the conventional wisdom that shunga is merely a private, private pleasure, and approximately 20 works that have returned home from overseas.
