To celebrate the fact that gaymanga are following me now (and of course I am now following them…at last, info on where I can find all the good bara artists!), i’m gonna share the one piece of interesting hentai trivia that I know.
You know Katsushika Hokusai? Ya know, that guy who made this painting you see practically everywhere?
Ya know, the most well known Edo period artist in the entire world, who’s work has been printed on posters, phone books, dinner mats, coasters, plates, pretty much anything that can have a photo slapped on it?
Yeah, he also drew porn. Lots of it. In fact, he invented the fetish that Japan is most commonly stereotyped remembered for; the tentacle rape genre.
It’s called “The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife”, and depicts a woman having sex with two octopuses.
So the next time you see some scenic traditional art piece from, like, Medieval England (or something like that) hanging in a museum, just remember; people were drawing porn even back then.
