BARRY NORMAN: Vampires, vamps and how I cut my teeth on Hammer …

Eye candy: As a actress, Pitt was a much-loved pin–up. And, of course, it also featured a pretty girl, Hazel Court. Hammer was never slow to understand the universal appeal of female eye candy, flimsily dressed and in peril. … It was by no means a great movie but it did OK, and Hammer followed it with Slave Girls, about a lost tribe of prehistoric women, which was absolutely dire despite the toothsome presence of British actress Martine Beswick, so memorably cast as a …

A Little bit about Erotic Netsuke – Japanese Carvings

Kimonos – the traditional garb for the Japanese for centuries – do not have pockets. So how did their wearers carry the various tools and implements needed in daily life? They tied such items to a belt worn with the Kimono. To keep such items from slipping off their cords, small figurines with holes in them were tied to the bottom of the cord and thus the Netsuke was born.

Overtime, these little “stoppers” became a popular form of art, taking the Netsuke from a personal decoration piece to an important part of Japanese sculpture work.

Kimonos For Sale

Traditionally carved from ivory or wood, today, Netsukes can be found made from a variety of other materials. This includes ceramic, horn, bone, amber and whale’s teeth.

Netsuke depict all kinds of subjects, – fruits and animals, as well as people. One well developed theme is the Erotic Netsuke. These are carvings of sexual depictions and symbols. Erotic netsukes are one branch of the large erotic art world of Japan known as “Shunga” which includes wood blocks, drawings, and even tattoos… Translated literally, the Japanese word shunga means picture of spring, where ‘spring’ metaphorically represents sex.

The word “Erotica,” of course, originates from the Greek word “Eros” which means love. Therefore Erotic Netsuke are works of art that deal with sexually stimulating subjects which including nudity.

It was a well known tradition to buy a Shunga, often in the form of erotic netsuke, for newly married couples.

Erotic Netsuke made of mammoth ivory sculptured in Japan are highly collectible. Netsuke carved from other materials are also desirable, but often cost less and have less of an investment value.

Netsukes of any subject can show an artist’s great talent. But if you are looking for a gift for a bride and groom, an erotic netsuke may be just the thing.
