Rape design depicting the molestation of three females by five remarkable culprits‘ (c.1829) from the series ‘Iro nikki‘ by Utagawa Kunisada

, hairy and unshaven miscreant (the characteristic rapist in shunga) forces himself on a begging female victim. His filthy grimace reveals that he is having a good time.
Giant Earrings
On the middle left panel an almost completely naked Buddhist priest with a shaved head and sporting giant earrings (his shakujō * lays in the below right corner), is trying to restrain another resisting female victim who is raped by a brown-faced man sporting a striking moustache (clearly the leader of the gang).
Negroid Offender
To make the scene even more remarkable, Kunisada has added a Negroid offender with a grass skirt who is licking the face of the desperate woman. On the far right, a masked man is sticking his hand through the fly of his victim’s pants.

*shakujō is a Buddhist ringed staff used mainly during prayer or as a defensive weapon that comes from India. The tinkling of the staff’s rings is used to alert small living beings such as insects to move from the pathway so that they are not trampled upon. In classical times, the jingling was also used to alarm hazardous animals, or to alert the devoted that there was an ascetic within earshot in need of alms.
