![Whimsical Erotic Album with 14 Funny Paintings](https://media-01.imu.nl/storage/shungagallery.com/2236/wp/Yokohama-e-Train197.jpg)
In the very last phase of the shunga production and also afterwards, the images acquired an increasingly cartoonish character, which eventually resulted in hentai (perversion). A nice example of this transition is the Japanese erotic album below.
Cartoonesque
It was produced in the late Taisho era (c.1920/30) and consists of 14 humorous paintings drawn in a smooth “cartoonesque” style. The figures are depicted in erotic encounters during everyday activities with minimal detail to the settings (often only one object!). The shadow effects give an extra dynamic.
