I must say I really like your newsletter. It's original, bold and straight to the point.
(Jan Kowalewicz - Polish erotic artist)
Marijn, I greatly appreciated your introducing me to Namio Harukawa via Shunga Gallery. I recently acquired two-volume of Namio Harukawa Memorial Edition from Japan. I enjoy them very much. His works are stunning. His style is probably in the same genre as Eric Stanton. You have done a great job.
(Phillip from Boston, U.S.)
I love the work of the Shunga Gallery and would be happy to do an interview.

Courcelle, France
A whole library could (should?) be written on all these subjects. Thank heaven for artists and those who can enjoy sex for what it is: an essential part of life, pleasurable, enjoyable, and at times even laughable!
Your website is somehow one more oasis in the middle of the desert.

Michael Fornitz
To me the keyword in shunga is passion. The artists were often at there most passionate when creating this particular type of art. The images themselves convey undiluted passion in every form. And now, we finally see a website passionately devoted to shunga. Keep it up!
Luigirom
Shunga art is as fascinating as elusive it can get. You can really feel the passion and dedication the author has spent investigating, organizing and preparing the excellent compilations of high quality pictures really well documented and dated. It’s been a great finding this very web-page for us shunga lovers!
Gabby Malpas (Sydney, Australia)
As a long time lurker, I was pleasantly surprised to see good copies of this iconic image come up for sale. So of course I grabbed the chance to buy and the process was easy, efficient and the item arrived well-packaged to Sydney, Australia not long after. The quality of the print is superb. Thank you!
Harald Schultz (Austria)
Hi Marijn, I just received the piece today, in excellent condition. It's awesome. Thanks & kind regards.
