About the Item

Shuhga: Images of spring: Essay on Erotic Elements in Japanese Art By Charles Grosbois. Nagel, Geneva; Paris; Hamburg, 1964. 1st Ed hardcover with dust jacket. A fascinating work closely tracing the development of Shunga, a branch of pictorial art that glorifies the erotic. Shunga meaning "Spring Pictures" or "Sex Pictures". It captured the spirit of the sex act that in Japanese eyes was simply the joyful union of the sexes, a natural function that represented man's greatest pleasure. Grosbois, the one-time director of the French-Japanese Institute at Kyoto, has done a remarkable job of placing the Shunga, the erotic prints, within the context of a culture that's distinctly non-Western. He makes frequent reference to literary works, including some by Saikaku. He notes the wars, Western contacts, and other social upheavals that elicited and shaped these wonderful portrayals of sexuality. And, above all, he presents over 150 works of classic erotic art, ranging from the mythical (p.114) and literary, to the familiar (as in the cleanup tissues of p.135), exaggerated (p.61-63), multiple (p.111), or hilarious (p. 130). This work is illustrated with numerous tipped-in color plates and b/w plates. 6 of the color plates are small fold-outs. NPT Books, a division of Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
