shunga ~ from Helsinki
March 11th, 2010 by anonymJapanese erotica exposed By DONALD RICHIE
FORBIDDEN IMAGES: Erotic Art from Japan's Edo Period, by Monta Kayakawa, (Trilingual: Finnish, Swedish, English). Helsinki: City Art Museum, 2003, 112 pp., 82 color plates, 3,800 yen (cloth).
I once bought a CD-ROM of shunga and was surprised to discover that the art was censored! What a shock that was. And a waste of money. What's the point?
It was really amazing. People just walked silently around the exhibition at looked at each picture for a long time. Of course some of them were quite shocking even, but with that, also humorous. And beautiful-somehow I think modern day people should learn from those images and texts.
It was a great combination, since together with these shunga pictures, on a different floor, was the exhibition Tokyo Still Life of Nobuyoshi Araki.
By the way why is this in the French section :?
people out there!
