History of Shunga

Shunga, Japanese erotic art, dates back to the Heian period (794-1185). These titillating images, often in the form of scrolls, books, and woodblock prints, captured the beauty, passion, and intimacy of sexual relationships. Shunga reached its zenith during the Edo period (1603-1868) when the popularity of woodblock prints led to a surge of erotic art amongst the Japanese society.

Though deemed immoral at times and faced with government censorship, shunga prints flourished. Despite the taboos, shunga was appreciated by all social classes, including the Samurai, merchants, and even the ruling class.

Cultural Significance of Shunga

Shunga prints are a reflection of Japan's rich cultural tradition, capturing the essence of human desire and pleasure. The focus on intimate relationships in these prints transcends the cultural barriers of time and geography. Although explicit, shunga art is much more than mere pornography; its emphasis on tenderness, emotion, and even humor provides a unique insight into Japanese society's approach to sexuality and love.

Shunga prints were also believed to hold talismanic properties that could increase fertility, protect against sexually transmitted diseases, and bring good fortune. Furthermore, shunga served as a visual guide to lovemaking for newlyweds, as a part of traditional bridal trousseau.
