¡SHUNGA the Lost Japanese Erotica(English Subtitles)
¡Japanese Movie (Documentary)
Description
[Machine Translation] The forbidden world of beauty. We are still unaware of its depths. A gorgeous culture that flourished in the Edo period and was forbidden in the Meiji period. Shunga reveals a Japan unknown to modern people - not only eroticism, but also a variety of expressive content, techniques, and creativity! Shunga was the extraordinary passion of famous ukiyoe artists of the Edo period, including Katsushika Hokusai and Kitagawa Utamaro. However, when the Edo period gave way to the Meiji period (1868-1912), the art became the subject of a police crackdown as "obscene" and disappeared from Japanese culture. It is only recently that there has been momentum to re-evaluate Shunga as an art form that can be enjoyed by all genders. Shunga depictions are no longer limited to sexuality alone, but are surprisingly diverse. Based on more than 100 Shunga works and interviews with domestic and international art collectors, Ukiyo-e researchers, art historians, engravers, and printers, this surprising documentary reveals the richly expressive depictions of sex and life. This is a documentary film.
