Third Thursday Lecture: Looking at Japanese Erotica in a Comparative Context

15 January 2015, Norwich

Dr Ellis Tinios
Honorary Lecturer in History, University of Leeds, and Visiting Researcher at the Art Research Center, Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto

ABOUT THE LECTURE

In this talk Ellis Tinios, a participant in the British Museum shunga project, will consider features of Japanese printed erotica of the Edo period (1603-1868) that distinguish it from its European counterparts. Leading Japanese artists imbued their erotic work with humour and joy, affirming the conviction that ‘making love is the prime glory and height of pleasure’. Guilt, shame and sin are alien to their representations of ‘the way of love’.
