Shunga, Japanese erotic art
This is a thread for Japanese erotic and pornographic art, in any medium, prints, paintings or whatever. Please do not include works by more than a single artist in one post (or a single anonymous set, or thematically related material, or related material from a single era). That will make it easier to find things and avoid reduplications. This is a particularly interesting artistic tradition because what we would class as pornography was accepted subject matter in ukiyoe, rather than something furtive or clandestine.
To start off, a quite well known set of good quality, the 'Haikai Book of the Cuckoo' by Katsukawa Shunsho, dated to 1788. (The scans in imagevenue should increase to a larger size if you click on them there; they come from a set in the British Museum.) Last edited by tuskerwilliams; August 10th, 2022 at 05:44 PM.. |

An unpretentious pair of ink and watercolour paintings, presumably of quite late origin. One is an explicit shunga picture while the second (the better of the two in my view)) would be classed as abuna-e because it is suggestive rather than explicit. The latter term suggests that it is a dangerous, or we might say, risqué image. I have added an example of an abuna-e woodcut print.
