YES…It’s finally here!

SHUNGA GALLERY is proud to announce – for the first time in over 115 years – the release of our much anticipated woodblock print remake of one of Hokusai’s most dramatic shunga designs.

Rape and torture by a masked villain (c.1803-06) from the series Erotic Book of Conjugal Eddies (Ehon futamigata) by Katsushika Hokusai

The image we are talking about is designed by the legendary Hokusai and is one of the most coveted designs in shunga. It portrays a masked villain (ninja) fully dressed in black (except for his purple belt) who has overpowered a couple in their own house. Now he is raping and torturing his tied victims, pointing the blade of his sword dangerously close to the genitals of the desperate male. The terror is almost palpable.

In collaboration with the Japanese artist Yuuya Shimoi (he also produced the excellent remake of The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife and many other iconic ukiyo-e designs such as Hokusai‘s The Great Wave) Shunga Gallery created a unique genuine woodblock reproduction concerning the famous Home invasion/ Ninja design from Erotic Book of Conjugal Eddies (Ehon futamigata), issued around 1803.

The ukiyo-e expert Jack Hillier commented on this series: “It is only by rare good chance that a shunga as rare, or as closely guarded, as Ehon futamigata, is likely to be seen at all!”

The idea for this project arose because of this rarity and very few know this important piece in its full glory with fresh, vivid colors.

Testimonials

The reproduction of the Ninja attack from Ehon Futamigata is truly fantastic! The craftsmanship is superb. The artist clearly made every effort to ensure all details match the original."

It’s an absolutely beautiful piece! The colors are far more vivid than even in your JPEG of it. I am absolutely delighted to have it and thank you very much!!!

I want you to know that the Hokusai arrived safely and in perfect order in Beverly Hills thanks to your excellent packing. The customs people did open the box to examine the contents but, fortunately, because you had packed it so well they didn’t do any damage. The idea of putting the print first in a mailing tube and then in a box was brilliant!
