Welcome to Makura-e
Welcome to this space which is dedicated to the exquisite taste of images of feminine beauty, sensuality and eroticism.
In our house you will find many creative expressions ranging from nude to erotic art with its sexy and sophisticated images.
Here are several rooms where you will be able to enjoy our courtesans’ expressive arts in various forms, form the soft and relaxing ones to the spicier and sexier ones, but you will also find dramatic and ironic style.
We want you to make yourself comfortable in one of the rooms and enjoy the nice pictures inspirited by the fluctuating world of eros.
We have drawn our inspiration from the sophisticated Japanese Shunga printings.
Shunga is the Japanese book of art of love.
It contains short texts that are illustrated by erotic wood engravings dating from the beginning of ‘700 to the beginning of ‘900.
It was used to illustrate erotic novels, but its purpose was also to teach young spouses.
During the Edo age the Shunga-related wood engraving production increased enormously, many of these texts circulated in cheap editions.
The wide variety of images circulating at that time was given several names depending on their nature: mukura-e (pillow images), waraie (hilarious images), koshokujibon (lustful books)
Katsukawa, Shunshò, Katsushika, Okusai, Utagawa,Toyokuni were some of the most refined Shunga artists.
