Shunga literally "spring pictures" is the term used to describe erotic prints, books, manuscripts and paintings Japan.
As a distributor of prints and shunga Japanese prints, in particular, I've met many amazing and evocative drawings. The 10 drawings shunga attracts me and are not in usual order. These impressions I've seen in books, at auction and in private collections.
Violation Kappa – Utamaro
This design is the first impression of Utamaro makura super-Uta (Poem pillow) The series published in 1788 and represents a complex scene with Awab (abalone) divers watch two kappa (water monsters) assaulted a fellow under the water.

Last but not least the most famous of all shunga designs known as the dream of pine seedlings Fisherman's wife Young Hokusai (Kino no komatsu) in the series. A picture of a diver abandoned in an ecstatic embrace with two octopuses. For a collector time scholars thought that the scene endlessly fascinating to be a rape scene, but was refuted by This Daniel Talerico who discovered that the public Edo associate the image with the caption Tamatori. Therefore the text from the image indicates satisfaction among all stakeholders. (You can find many images of this print on the Internet!)
