thumb|Two Lovers, Hokusai From The Adonis Plant (Fukujusō) Woodblock print, from a set of 12, ōban
is a type of Japanese erotic art typically executed as a kind of ukiyo-e, often in woodblock print format. While rare, there are also extant erotic painted handscrolls which predate ukiyo-e. Translated literally, the Japanese word shunga means picture of spring; "spring" is a common euphemism for sex.
