Kama Sutra/a Pillow Book

Pillow Books have long been a traditional gift exchanged between lovers: they take their name from the lacquered wooden 'pillows' of Japan in which these conveniently small works of erotic instruction and amusement were usually kept. The first 'pillow book' to bear that evocative title was written by a Japanese noblewoman early in the fourteenth century, but erotic gift books have been enjoyed by lovers in China and India from the very earliest times. Kama Sutra, the science of love, is one of the great books of the world - the classic love manual written two thousand years ago by the Hindu sage Vatsyayana. Kama Sutra is the most important work in a long tradition of Indian erotic literature, all of which proclaims that sexual equality and happiness are the right of every human being.Vatsyayana, Mallanaga is the author of 'Kama Sutra/a Pillow Book' with ISBN 9780062508317 and ISBN 0062508318.
