    Description

    Rare Shunga porcelain covered bowl or tea cup.
    In the foreword of the accompanying catalogue Asaki Masakatsu and Uragami Mitsuru wrote:

    Shunga
    , Japanese erotic art, is a genre that has received increasing appreciation in recent years. Almost all of the master of the floating-world school of art, or ukiyo-e, created finely crafted works of this kind and the study of
    shunga
    is indispensable to the study of floating-world art as a whole. In
    shunga
    people of all classes are shown enjoying the pleasures of lovemaking.
    Even though the forms created are quite often eccentric, thanks to their skill the artists are able to create the illusion of natural depictions. Sex is depicted in a lively way. with generous humour that invites our laughter.
    Shunga
    can be enjoyed by adults of all ages and both sexes, refreshing our spirits in a manner typical of the best of Japanese art.
    After an exhaustive search on ebay and beyond, I find there are few antiques such as this one and none on ebay USA. Oddly there seems to be a huge following at eBay in Ireland! Go figure!
