The art of seduction begins in the discovery of what is sensual all around you. The graceful movement of the female form; the whisper of a witty phrase; the eye-appealing color, texture, and placement of food; tasteful dcor; a sense of ritual and ceremony, even an atmosphere of playfulnessthese not only please your senses, but also engage your emotions. They elevate your enjoyment of sex beyond a monotone state of organic activity into a noble and pleasurable pursuit.

Seduction is an art that tantalizes, titillates, and touches your soul as well as your body. It can enhance your life in the modern world, where the intrusion of fast-paced technology and stress can interfere with sex, often dehumanizing it. The idea of coupling the physical act of lovemaking with spirituality, formal traditions, and play led me to a place that has long fascinated me: Japan. Japan, in turn, led me to write this book.

Pleasure in Japan is about creating something exquisite and wonderful that transcends the mundane, humdrum activities of life. The Japanese believe the pleasure of sex at its best is a total package: It involves bathing, cuisine, song and dance, good company, and finally, lovemaking. Every detail is regulated by honored customs, superstitions, cultural refinements, witty repartee, and artistic ceremonies that have taken shape over the centuries. The hint of the hidden, the mysterious, and even the clandestine has only made it more enticing. There is nothing crude or coarse about this ideal, and yet it is so persuasive that even the modern sex trade in some ways turns to it for inspiration.

I am no stranger to Japan, having spent many years working for Japanese companies. However, learning the art of kimono with a sensei, teacher, whose family had been in that business for more than four hundred years, led me to explore the sensuous roots of Japanese women by studying literature and art. There I discovered the essence of their seduction techniques. I found it not in observing what was on the surface, but as in so many things Japanese, in peeling off the outer layer and looking inside. This has intrigued me for years and kept me coming back to Japan, studying the culture, traditions, and rituals of seduction.

In my explorations, I have encountered many fascinating women: Early empresses possessed legendary powers of enchantment and in some instances were warriors. Ladies of the Heian period (7941192) established ideals of beauty and were accomplished poets and masters of innuendo, intrigue, and romance in the imperial court. Courtesans of the Edo period (16151868) were the classic women of pleasure, trendsetters who made an art of sexual technique and the refined arts of song, dance, music, and conversationtalents later epitomized by the geisha. The last of the geisha still carry on this elegant and sensual tradition. Even modern bar hostesses and soapland girls look to the ideals of the past to give a small gloss of beauty and refinement to otherwise tawdry professions. All these women have one thing in commonitoke, sex appealand they all contribute to my book in different and evocative ways.

I discovered that in earlier times the Japanese were fond of instructing on sexual methods by means of pictorial hanging scrolls whose graphic depictions were also exquisite works of art. Men learned about sex from books like you learn rules for making a garden. Yet, seeking information on the art of seduction, I encountered no meishoki, guidebooks, on how to seduce a lover. I knew then I would have to find my own way by exploring the lives and habits of sensual Japanese women throughout the centuries. And, I knew that while these sexy, beautiful court ladies, courtesans, and geisha could offer models for learning the pleasure of seduction, we live in a different place and time. I would need a book for the tastes of the empowered Western woman of today: you.
