3.0 out of 5 stars
Charming, but very small,

This review is from: The Japanese Art of Love: Pillow Book, A (A Pillow Book) (Hardcover)
This undersized book (about 6" x 4-1/2" and 64 pages) offers a delightful assortment of visual and written art about physical love. The artwork comes from Japan's tradition of "shunga" - gorgeous woodcut prints, some B&W and some richly colored. Text comes from the poet Ikkyu, traditional geisha songs, and other sources, only occasionally more than four lines.
Unfortunately, the small size makes the imagery hard to read and to appreciate properly. None of the artwork or text has attribution - if you want to see more from any source, you're stuck. It's cute as a stocking stuffer for Valentine's day, but really not for serious students of erotic art or Japanese culture. -- wiredweird |
