“Man and Woman Making Love on a Rug” by Katsushika Hokusai is one of the most iconic images of Japanese erotic art, combining aesthetic refinement and emotional intensity. This reproduction on fine Amalfi paper brings out every detail of the original work, offering an elegant, authentic result, perfect for enriching sophisticated interiors or collections of Oriental art.
The work belongs to the tradition of shunga, a Japanese art genre widespread during the Edo period (1603–1868). Katsushika Hokusai, the celebrated ukiyo-e master, made numerous works of this kind, characterised by strong narrative and symbolic power. Shunga was not only erotic representation, but also a cultural expression linked to everyday life, pleasure and prosperity. Its prints were appreciated by various social classes and considered bringers of good fortune.
