Shunga - traditional Japanese erotic art
Shunga is an ancient, Japanese tradition in art. Believed to have originated because, in the Edo era, men had to stay most of the year away from home, leaving their wives behind. Shunga was intended to help deal with their desires, reducing the likelihood of straying.
