Illustrated History of Sexuality in Japan [4th Edition]

The History of Eros in Japan, Explained Through Illustrations Handwritten by the Author From the world of mythology to Edo's red-light districts, such as Yoshiwara, to the now-nostalgic sexual customs of the Showa era— 124 stories tracing the insatiable sexual desires of the Japanese people, with concise prose and over 140 elegant illustrations drawn by the author himself, based on numerous documents. A long-selling, popular work that explains the hidden "history of sexual culture." A new color frontispiece has been added, and the illustrations are printed as large as possible. This fourth edition features a completely redesigned layout for easier reading.
