Inhaltliche Beschreibung

"Shunga-shutou" of a title is the combined word between "Shunga" and "four season (shunka-shutou) " to one. So it means not only about "Shunga" but four season too.
Japanese "Shunga" is popular in a foreign country, In the case of most. Unfortunately, they seem to be treated as "strange shape of pornography" or art noble adversely. Because a revision was carelessly in point until recently in Japan, and it was not shown magnificently, the entity sense was yes and no two opposing arguments. We could not so good understand about "Shunga". However, it seems to be becoming an established theory that "Shunga" was public culture or entity of an omen than it says art, in a recent "Shunga" researcher. I have thought to show the sense of "the game" which tickled a sense of fun of the mob whom originally "Shunga" had again in treating it in present games. On the other hand, there is still "culture to hide" in Japan. When it will be cropped out too clearly, it will not excite imagination more than it. So it had better still hide the thing to be able to cover. This "Nipponian" part of me as identity became the key of this game which handled drawing includes "Shunga". In addition, "Shunga" seems to have been the play between picture and word. So I have treated the 48 love posture that reaches since old days by dot movie with wise saying in four seasons. In consideration of copyright of original "Shunga" or moral of second use, I have drawn all on a computer.

Kommentar des Betreuers

Well, one of my favourite topics presented here in a CD-ROM-like manner. One navigates through 48 possible ways to communicate physical love. The interface is easy to understand and I like to investigate on the myths of Japanese love. Seems not to be much different from European style, maybe the body is the limit here or the hetero-setup. Anyway, a nice work by my student Kazumi.
