“A new edition of the Kama Sutra
includes illustrations by award-winning illustrator Victo Ngai, who says that
her artwork will effectively “[situate] the viewers from the women’s point of
view.” source: Women in the World
Hello Friends,
The Kama Sutra is commonly known as a guide to
sex positions. Postures to explore, bedroom gymnastics for some, others for pleasure-seeking
and couple’s intimacy.
However, the Kama Sutra has always been an
ancient Indian document which was written in Sanskrit text about 1,600 years
ago. Its broader contents includes the art of living, society, sexuality and
achieving good karma.
The original writings had no drawings at all. Folio
Society’s new edition brings a fresh interpretation of the texts with a woman’s
view in mind. According to the illustrator, Victo Ngai, she says the pictures
are less overtly sexual. She tried for tantalizing, yet thoughtful and elegant
at the same time.
