    Attention to detail and small gestures with profound meaning define Japanese art, extending to the realm of sexuality. This practical guide reveals how to incorporate ancient and modern Japanese sexual practices from court ladies, courtesans, and geisha to enhance romance and create an erotic "floating world" of pleasure for you and your partner. In Japan, sex transcends mere orgasm; it embodies a love of nature and purity, often led by women who prioritize extending passion into a spiritual experience through sensory engagement. You will explore techniques such as aromatherapy, bathing, and erotic meditation for relaxation, engage in stimulating conversations to connect emotionally, and embrace roleplay to fulfill fantasies. The guide also offers insights into the art of teasing and caressing before selecting a lovemaking position. Chapters with titles like "The Nine Points of Beauty," "The Art of Cool," and "Bathhouse Games and Sexy Cuisine" lead you through over a thousand years of Japanese exploration in sex and love. While explicit, the discussions are tasteful and non-exploitative, providing a refreshing alternative for modern Western women seeking to explore new dimensions of intimacy. Jina Bacarr, an experienced writer and consultant, brings her expertise to this unique exploration of sexual art.

    The early summer of 1892 brought a heavy rainy season that year in Japan. Plum Rain, the Japanese called it, because it comes when the fruit bulges with ripeness and promise. Like a young girl reaching womanhood. A girl like me. In the ancient Japanese tradition of beauty and grace, sex and erotic fantasies are hidden secrets that only a select few may learn, and which are forbidden to foreigners. But when a threat to her father's life puts her own in jeopardy, young Kathlene Mallory is sent to live in safety at the Tea House of the Look-Back Tree, where she is allowed to glimpse inside the sensual world of the geisha. During the years of her training in the art of pleasuring men, Kathlene's desires are awakened by the promise of unending physical delights, and she eagerly prepares for the final ritual that will fulfill her dream of becoming a geisha -- the selling of her virginity. The man willing to pay for such an honor, Baron Tonda, is not the man for whom Kathlene carries a secret longing, but he is the man who will bring ruin to the teahouse, and danger to Kathlene, if he is disappointed....

    An essential work for anyone interested in the society and history of modern China! The first half of the twentieth century was a period of great turmoil in China. Family, one of the most popular Chinese novels of that time, vividly reflects that turmoil and serves as a basis for understanding what followed. Written in 1931, Family has been compared to Dream of the Red Chamber for its superb portrayal of the family life and society of its time. Drawn largely from Pa Chin's own experience, Family is the story of the Kao family compound, consisting of four generations plus servants. It is essentially a picture of the conflict between old China and the new tide rising to destroy it, as manifested in the daily lives of the Kao family, and particularly the three young Kao brothers. Here we see situations that, unique as they are to the time and place of this novel, recall many circumstances of today's world: the conflict between generations and classes, ill-fated love affairs, students' political activities, and the struggle for the liberation of women. The complex passions aroused in Family and in the reader are an indication of the universality of human experience. This novel illustrates the effectiveness of fiction as a vehicle for translating the experience of one culture to another very different one.
