= Sinica Leidensia 62. First authorized reprint after the original edition, which was privately issued by the author in 50 copies only in Tokyo in 1951 and distributed among a few selected libraries by the author. Barkman/ Van der Hoeven, Een man van drie levens p.174-176: "Van Gulik geeft blijk van een fenomenale kennis, niet alleen van de filosofische, taoïstische en boeddhistisch- tantristische terminologie welke voor deze studie is vereist, maar ook van de alledaagse én literaire termen die bij het spel van 'wolken en regen' worden gebezigd. Ook van de hulpmiddelen die bij erotische handelingen worden gebruikt, kent hij alle details (...)". The highly interesting new introductions to this edition cast doubts as to the authenticity of the erotic prints used by Van Gulik as examples for the study and imply that he created (most of) them himself in antique style.
