| Shunga Woodblock Print, Two Lovers No. 8 |
This beautiful and original work of art is attributed to Kunisada (1786 - 1864) by its application of radiant colours and intense detail. Here, with this intimately small print called Makura-e (literally, Pillow Painting), we are permitted to view a private encounter of two young lovers.
Shunga, as these prints are known, translates to "Spring Painting" and, in the literal sense, is depicted here in this fresh mood. With boundless energy the artist shows tussled silks that lay under the enthusiastic lovers, as they caress each other with their unfaded passion. They lay by an open door that brings in fresh, sweet smelling spring air from the garden beyond.
These prints, once so available to the public as an aspect of everyday culture, they are now highly collectible as pieces of art. |
