Women of Cologne's Museum of East Asian Art

All photos taken by Epiphanie Bloom. 

These are the representations of women that caught my eye in the Museum of East Asian Art of Cologne. All three countries - Japan, China and Korea - are represented. The first and last two images are from Japan, the porcelain sculptures are from Korea, and the rest are from China (as far as I can recall). There may have been more representations of women on display than shown here, but even so, they comprised a minority of the works on display. My intention is to pay attention to the women's presence as it is, in order to expand upon it. 

The erotic art from China is a rare work, because most similar pieces would have been destroyed at some point, in some misguided aim for respectability.
