Die Körperformen in Kunst und Leben der Japaner

Stratz, C. H. (Carl Heinrich), 1858-1924 · 1902 · Stuttgart, F. Enke · 27 pictures

Die Körperformen in Kunst und Leben der Japaner is a 1902 German study of the human body in Japanese art and life, written by the physician and anthropologist Carl Heinrich Stratz and published in Stuttgart by F. Enke for a scholarly audience. Its photographs show Japanese women posed nude or partly draped against painted backdrops, alongside a woodblock-style print of wrestlers, and a designer could study the stylised posing and the early photographic tonal range.
