Takato Yamamoto

Inspired by Japan's evocative Shunga woodblock prints, this young Japanese painter and illustrator has created a world of stunning erotica and seduction. Genderless bodies can be found intertwined in scenes cloaked in brilliant colors and executed to perfection. Yamamoto's first publication is filled with a troubling beauty that addresses not only Japan's historical pillow books, but a contemporary dialogue free from gender or taboos. A stunning must-have for any erotica collector or lover of beautiful books.
