Question for Milt...

[cagathoc]

Milt,

I have a book here called "Utamaro: Portraits from the Floating World" by Tadashi Kobayashi.

Is he a relative of yours by any chance?

ah ha!


Sunga, or "images of spring," are erotic polychrome engravings painted by the masters of the Japanese Ukiyo-e school during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The shunga served as illustrations for love novels, instructive albums for young wives, and even lucky charms for warriors.

[cagathoc]

Well, now we have it clear. I retract the statement that my piece was erotic!!!


post script: why don't they look at each other while they do that? Looks like they're watching television! LOL

like I said in the nudity thread in debates, past time we see some work of this nature done by a woman...
