Princess of Desire

It arrived much faster than the expected date in well-packed condition. The content, as can be assumed from the cover, is pretty gothic, mysterious yet sexy at the same time. Excellent work!

good

If you have an appreciation of Japanese culture but would not claim to be an expert - more of an interested observer - a happy amateur - this is for you.If you also have an appreciation of Japanese women and the way they express their sexuality - attractive, arousing the voyeur in you - this is for you.If you adore the way the Japanese - both male and female - embrace and practice their sexual preferences(which may ,sometimes, seem so eccentric) - this is for you.If you were inspired in your early years by Shunga woodcut prints from the Edo period and your interest has been rekindled,refreshed and re-ignited from time to time by your discoveries of the new wave Shunga artists - admirably represented by the likes of Nobuyoshi Araki and now Ken-ichi Murata - this is for you.Even though these two guys are photographers - they are contemporary artists using the medium of their times to re-interpret,re-imagine the allure, and the erotic sensuality, of the female form.If in their work they cover off most things that you adore in women - their reserve, their innocence, their reluctance and their pleasure, their pain - this is for you.Murata captures all in his work - his studies - here centered loosely around folklore and fairytales.His photographs are brilliantly hand-colored black and white studies of innocence compromised and corrupted.If you think this is all about elusiveness - then this is for you.If you think this is about temptation, the fall and the coming of sin - it's for you.As it is for me.

Jede Aufnahmen erzählt ihre eigene Geschichte.Jedes Detail hat seine Berechtigung und wurde für die Aufnahmen sorgfältig platziert.Die Liebe zum Detail ist erstaunlich.Drück ist sehr hochwertig.Papier ist sehr hochwertig.

Vielleicht liegt es auch daran, dass die Japaner einen anderen Zugang zur Körperlichkeit und Erotik haben - für meinen Geschmack ist das Buck eindeutig zu pornografisch ausgefallen.
