Shunga

The Japanese woodblock erotic pillow book art, known as Shunga, dates back to the fourteenth century.

The art and its homoerotic depictions, less well known than its more conventional heterosexual ones, are treated in short story form here by habu. These four stories move from ancient days, with “Bitten Peach,”—the term for young men who have lost their virginity to other men—into the current world re-creation of the art form in film, with “Shunga World” and “Shunga Silence,” and on to “Enticingly Unnaked’s” Shunga-like clothed sex fetish.
