Shunga art is a traditional Japanese genre of erotic art that flourished during the Edo period (1603-1868). It typically features explicit depictions of sexual activity, often combined with elements of humor and romance. Shunga was created using various techniques, including woodblock printing and painting, and was popular among both men and women. The term "shunga" translates to "spring pictures," symbolizing the season of love and fertility. These artworks were not only intended for private enjoyment but also served as instructional material on sexual practices and relationships. Today, Shunga art is appreciated for its historical significance and artistic value.
