Up for sale is a book (exhibition catalogue) in English and Hebrew “"Love with Humour" - Japanese erotic art from the Ofer Shagan collection”.
This catalog is illustrated.
"Love with Humour" was a significant exhibition of Japanese erotic art (shunga) held at the Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art in Haifa, Israel, in 2017.
Exhibition Overview: The exhibit featured woodblock prints from the private collection of Ofer Shagan, a prominent Tokyo-based Israeli collector. It explored the deep-rooted connection between eroticism and humor in Japanese culture, dating back to ancient mythology.
Key Themes & Features: "Laughing Pictures" (Warai-e): The exhibition highlighted that Japanese erotic art was traditionally called warai-e, emphasizing that these works were often parodies or intended to evoke laughter rather than just titillation.
Humorous Narrative: Prints often depicted "funny" or "foolish" behaviors of lovers in intimate situations, such as a man trying to make love to a woman busy with household chores.

We ship registered airmail worldwide from Israel but unfortunately there are a few countries that I am unable to ship to due to political reasons. To the people there I apologize.

BUT
I have tried to get an accurate time of delivery and every worker and every branch of the post office gave me a different answer. The longest was delivery within 30 working days so please take this into account

My outlook on life is that there are good people and bad people no matter what country, what color, what religion or how tall or how short they may be. And that being nice is underrated
