Wood Netsuke

Erotic Netsuke - A cultural history

Start as a pocket usage into a sexual giddiness Erotic netsuke became a collector's item more popular worldwide.

Once upon a time there was a Chinese emperor. Each year is used to celebrate the Festival of Stars. On a good day of joyful celebration, an old Taoist hermit drew a bird flying and special presaged that Sei-o-bo, the Great Mother of the Western Paradise, will soon appear with a peach, which can reproduce only once every three thousand years. The peaches that possess the power to award immortality to those who participate in it. Peach is a symbol of femininity. Represents softness, smoothness and quietness. It is suggested to be the Okame erotic qualities of the fruit world. This particular Erotic Netsuke has more features to it, than one might imagine.

The netsuke is a personal decoration piece dating from 17th century Japan. It is typically ivory or wood. A variety of other materials have been used throughout history. Includes ceramic, horn, bone, amber and whale's teeth. Another interesting way is "Shunga", representing representations and sex symbols. The word "Erotica" has evolved from the Greek word "Eros", which means love. Erotic Netsuke therefore refers to work art - including literature, photography, film, sculpture - all they have to do with erotically stimulating descriptions. Erotica is a modern word to represent human anatomy and sexual desire through the creative art clearly distinguished from commercial pornography.

There has been a long tradition of painting erotica among Eastern cultures. The erotic art of China reached its popular peak during the latter part of the Ming Dynasty. In Japan, Shunga means Erotic Netsuke appeared in the 13th century and continued to grow in popularity until the birth of photography. Literally translated, the Japanese word shunga means picture spring, where "spring" metaphorically represents sex. Shunga The term originated in China. It is thought that shunga were initially inspired by the illustrations in Chinese medical manuals, a process originated in the Muromachi period (1336 to 1573).

It was a tradition to buy a well-known to Shunga newly married couples. It is used as a guide to sexual chalderns wealthy families in Japan and China. Later bands was impossible because of the positions and deficiency of alerts and more verbal guides starts to appear.

This is erotic Netsuke Carved mammoth ivory in Japan. Can not find netsukes several that exhibit this kind of intricate craftsmanship. Erotic mammoth netsuke are carved in detail what you have a great collection and investment value.

Erotic Netsuke dealers are willing to seek to trade personal request. Now users can find and really do anything for them as a decorative masterpiece at home that will remind the next generation of the family.

One of the best sites I usually visit in order to seek to buy and see what's new in the field of erotic art and in particular netsuke is Ivory and Art Gallery.
