Shunga + Bijinga = Erotica

Thanks for the delivery. I got the book.

C’est un livre qui raconte une collection privée, cela permet de s’initier facilement à cet art érotique . Il est fait avec cœur. Les images sont parfois un peu ternes mais C’est réellement un livre à posséder pour s’initier à cet univers oriental.

The title of the book is slightly misleading, suggesting something from the top shelf. In fact it is much more than this. It is primarily a book about Japanese prints, including historically subversive erotic art. The well-informed text, written by Bob Bentley, the collector of the images, manages to be educational in the best sense while not losing its conversational tone. The quantity of images is unusually generous for an art book. Yes, there are some pictures you most definitely want to keep away from children and the prurient, but most of the book comprises serious, sometimes amusing, always interesting and beautiful works of art. Some are museum pieces - but are affordable, available to buy even online. There are incidental tips throughout about how to collect them cannily. For anyone interested in Japan, the East, history, art, and maybe even erotica, this book is a find, and a good gift for anyone brainy and broad-minded.
