Meiji Shunga: Digital Woodblock

Description

Japanese Woodblock Print, Meiji era pillow book page

SIZE IN INCHES: 5 x 3.5 inches

SHUNGA is a subgenre of classic Japanese erotic art, typically produced as ukiyo-e woodblock prints or painted scrolls. Translating literally to "spring pictures"—since "spring" is an ancient euphemism for sex -- these works celebrated sexual pleasure with humor, beauty, and unabashed detail.
