Hokusai’s Erotic Worlds: The Intimate Art Beyond the Great Wave

When people think of Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849), the iconic The Great Wave off Kanagawa usually comes to mind. Yet behind the famed master of ukiyo-e lies a lesser-known but equally fascinating and audacious chapter of his artistic career—his shunga, or “spring pictures.”

This volume, captured with newly commissioned high-resolution photography, presents eight complete albums and print series created by Hokusai between 1786 and 1823. Accompanied by scholarly essays and insightful commentary, it invites readers into the intimate and playful realm of Hokusai’s erotic imagination. His works depict maidservants, wives, courtesans, and lovers—and even the legendary woman entwined with two octopuses—portrayed with humor, tenderness, and a striking openness toward pleasure and equality between the sexes.

In Edo-period Japan, sexuality was considered a natural part of life. Though shunga was officially banned, it flourished in practice, with many respected artists working under pseudonyms to avoid censorship. These works served not only as entertainment or erotic art but also as talismans—samurai were said to carry them into battle for good fortune and protection.

With the rapid development of woodblock printing, Hokusai achieved remarkable richness in color, texture, and detail, vividly capturing moments of intimacy, desire, and laughter. Beyond their sensual appeal, his shunga reveal a profound understanding of human emotion, humor, and vulnerability.

Hokusai’s Erotic Worlds is more than an exquisite art collection—it is a cultural journey exploring the delicate interplay between art and desire, wit and humanity. Beyond the crashing waves, this is Hokusai as few have seen him before: creative, mischievous, and vibrantly alive.
