B is for bear, book, beauty and bizarre. B- is my name. From time to time I will hibernate this site in order to finish a PhD, but these reviews that I am still adding to stand as a ruined archive for my thoughts, fears, pleasures and tributes that I will return to with a vengeance when the storm of knowledge clears. My daddy is etheoreal. I am a joyously mad and maudlin mystic -

The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife (蛸と海女, Tako to ama?) is an erotic woodcut of the ukiyo-e genre made around 1820 by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Perhaps the first instance of tentacle eroticism, it depicts a woman entwined sexually with a pair of octopuses, the smaller of which wraps one of its tentacles around the woman's nipple and kisses her, while the larger one performs cunnilingus. Hokusai created The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife during the Edo period in when Shinto was making a resurgence; this influenced the piece's animism and playful attitude towards sexuality.
To know thy erotic self is to acknowledge a desire for tentacles: playful animism, possibility, complete fulfillment, polymorphous pleasure, adventure, longing and yet - also tragedy, for the tragic ensures the imaginary expedients of pleasure. All in one. Ah, what unquenchable pleasures! Ah, what divine flesh in our metamorphosis!
