Erotic Aspects of Japanese Culture is a book written by Lawrence E. Gichner that explores the various facets of sexuality and eroticism in Japanese society. The book delves into the historical and cultural roots of Japan's unique approach to sexuality, including the influence of Shintoism and Buddhism, the role of geishas and courtesans, and the development of the erotic art form known as shunga.

Throughout the book, Gichner provides a nuanced and insightful analysis of how Japan's attitudes towards sex and eroticism have evolved over time, and how they continue to shape contemporary Japanese society.
