Tako to Ama (the octopus & the pearl diver)

Limited Edition Erotic Shunga Print by Senju
 
This boldly sensual work comes from contemporary artist Senju’s acclaimed series, 36 Views of Mount Fuji – Shunga Reimagined, a provocative homage to Hokusai’s iconic landscape series.  Created nearly 200 years after the original Fugaku Sanjūrokkei, Senju’s version dares to blend traditional aesthetics with highly erotic, modern shunga themes — reviving Edo-era pleasure art through a fresh, visceral lens. 
Inspired by Japan’s long period of isolation (Sakoku), when culture blossomed within closed borders, Senju draws upon the spirit of ukiyo-e — the "floating world" of beauty, sensuality, and impermanence.  Just as Hokusai's Mt. Fuji served as a constant amidst fleeting moments, Senju uses erotic intimacy as a metaphor for timeless human connection and artistic continuity.
 
Tako to Ama, is a superb and highly provocative rendition of Hokusai's, The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife.
 
Size:  29.7 cm x 21 cm.  Each print in this limited edition of 50 is signed and numbered by the artist, and includes his hand-carved red hanko seal on the reverse — a mark of authenticity and tradition.  Printed on 230gsm archival matte paper, this piece is both a tribute to Japan’s shunga heritage and a bold statement of contemporary erotic art.
