As a fan of japanese art *and* as a taphonomist, I was very excited to learn about Kusôzu: watercolour paintings that depict the decay and decomposition of a human body.

Let's talk about this using Kobayashi Eitaku's 'Body of a Courtesan in Nine Stages' (1870s) *GRAPHIC THREAD* Before we go any further, this is a warning. If you are squeamish then I would stop here.

If not, lets look at some art and discuss.
