Japanese erotic art From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shunga

Shunga is a term for classic Japanese erotica, particularly erotic Ukiyo-e. There are also erotic painted handscrolls, which came before ukiyo-e and are much rarer.[1] The Japanese word shunga means picture of spring. “Spring” is a euphemism for sex.[1] Shunga prints showed lots of kinds of sex, including heterosexual sex, gay sex, lesbian sex, and even sex with octopuses.
