Over dit e-boek
Ukiyo-e , meaning "pictures of the floating world," emerged during Japan's Edo period (1603–1868) as a prominent artistic tradition.
It reflects the hedonistic urban culture of the time, focusing on themes such as kabuki actors, beautiful women, landscapes, and scenes from daily life. Created using woodblock printing techniques, Ukiyo-e combined artistic expression with mass production, making art accessible to a wide audience.
Iconic Ukiyo-e artists like Hokusai and Hiroshige revolutionized this genre, producing masterpieces such as The Great Wave off Kanagawa and Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido.
Shunga: Erotica in the Floating World
Shunga , meaning "spring pictures," is a subgenre of Ukiyo-e that focuses on erotic art. Often depicting intimate scenes with humor, tenderness, and artistic sophistication, shunga was widely appreciated across social classes in Edo Japan. Far from being taboo, it was regarded as a natural and educational portrayal of human relationships, offering insights into love, passion, and cultural norms surrounding sexuality.
Artists like Kitagawa Utamaro and Katsushika Hokusai infused shunga with exquisite detail and storytelling, elevating it to a celebrated form of artistic expression.
Shunga’s boldness and intricacy also carried symbolic and metaphorical layers.
Themes often included flowers and nature to represent sensuality and the fleeting beauty of life, emphasizing the philosophical aspects of the "floating world."
