An unusual design that examines in detail the activities of an aroused Japanese geisha who has sex with herself. She is using a harigata (strap-on dildo) and leans with her head on an opened shunga book that serves as inspiration. The storage box is next to the fallen geisha pillow.
Aroused Thoughts
The image is divided in two by a diagonal line. The above image reflects her aroused thoughts that arose during earlier events in which she was observed by multiple men on the street.
