Product Description
Japan's shunga woodblock prints were originally created to advertise the facilities of the Edo-era pleasure quarters, including tea houses, restaurants and theaters, as well as the brothels. But this new art form quickly took on a life of its own, portraying every imaginable form of sexual activity from straight heterosexual acts through sodomy, bestiality and a wide range of fetishes. Today, these images of sex, many of which are grossly caricatured with outrageously proportioned genitalia, are highly sought after by collectors of art and erotica the world over. Neo Shunga, introduced here as part of the current Japanese trend of restyling traditional fashions for the 21st century, brings together in one volume some of the most fascinating images to come out of the shunga movement. These include acts of voyeurism, masturbation, ménage à trios, group sex, and even bestiality with an octopus.

nothing neo...., 2009-09-30
If you never seen shunga and want to go cheap this book is ok.Print color quality is low and all images are well known reproductions. I hoped to see modern artists but was mistaken.
I buy my shunga books in Japan because color quality is much higher and, somehow, their adult manga which they sell at K-books in Akihabara, Tokyo connected to shunga strongly.
Not worth even a couple dollars, 2010-03-17
If you want a few small classic japanese erotic art images run through a few photoshop filters, then this book is for you. If you want something actually interesting... its not.
