The Shunga print during the 17th and 18th Century, the focus of the image produced on the expression of emotion, joy and love were the sex ads on a voluntary basis by both partners. But in the late 18th Century is slowly changing images erotic sex sometimes involuntary, in most cases shows ugly hairy men you force innocent girls. The following ten rapes drawings are clear examples of this particular issue:

Koryusai -Falconer

This chuban published design by the great pioneer Isoda Koryusai (Acts 1770-1780), famous from his "Flowers of elegant rich Twelve Seasons" in 1772-1773 was one of the first representation rape Japanese woodcuts. The image is associated with the eighth month and a falconer shows a young girl forced to land in the middle of grass and clover Japanese.

It has a coin in his ear, as was the custom of lackeys who do not have a stock exchange.A similar scene is in the cinema of Hokusai 'and Komatsu (desire for love), which is somewhat less fun.

Kunisada bound - Women

This horrible scene by Utagawa Kunisada's (1786-1865) "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter crucified prospects for the series (late 1820) with the female victim and tied to a wooden stick the Four Seasons', tied her arms behind her back. That increases the drama is close to the city, somewhere deep in the forest, the fact that theirTormentor was deliberately planned his crimes of violence have no chance to escape.

Kunisada - Fire Fox

In a further design of rape Kunisada depicts three unruly palanquin bearers Ocho Holding, a subsidiary of the brothel owner Karakotoya on the ground. The relaxing environment is the environment of the Inari shrine Kurosuke. The "fox-lights" (Fire Fox) show the presence of fox spirits. This book is the illustration Kunisada "Shunshoku hatusne no EMU" (TheErotic adventures of six women) by 1842.

Shigenobu - rape

Yanagawa Shigenobu's (1789-1833) Designing Yanagi Oban 'no Arashi' (Wind in the Willows includes combat) four palanquin bearers, having a wild woman. One of the men (second from left) sports a few tattoos on both arms detailed (this image almost invisible). The woman is strong and kicking strength, but has the feeling of controlling one for being here.

Kuniyoshi -Candle

In this famous rape scene by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) from the book "Byokei goyoshi re ga" (1830), three men in a dark room, a woman overwhelmed. The player who wears glasses is to penetrate his victim, while a candle. And 'one of the Shunga devotees whispered that this man is truly himself Kuniyoshi.

Hokusai - palanquin bearers

From shungabook series' Manpuku Wagojin (sex gods), the proposed in 1821 HokusaiThis scene shows two rapes palanquin bearers (again!), Ready for rape as a courtesan (prostitute). The man held her from behind a fierce grip on the neck, while at the same time, licked her cheek.

Utamaro tried - rape

In 1788 is one of Utamaro (1754-1806) the most impressive early masterpieces "Utamakura" (poem pillow) appeared in a series consisting of 12 albums horizontal prints. The design of this series is more of a misogynist of the most dramatic scenesstuck with a girl from a plebeian middle-aged workers, while fighting with a vengeance. The two protagonists are a dark gray background, the dramatic effect will be increased.

Eiri - Lackey

Chokyosai Eiri's (Acts 1789 to 1801) "no smoke kiyogaki" (models of calligraphy), dated 1801 is known as one of the wildest records Shunga Oban size. It contains thirteen instead of twelve standard designs and is almost entirely inspired by Utamaro's"Utamakura. Also this release (see Utamaro - attempted rape), which attempts to Utamaro classic, comic interpretation of a middle-aged waiter to seduce a girl by force of the residence itself is compared.

Hokusai - post-rape scene

The "gods of sex" series is based on the stories of two concentrated Osan and Otsubo courtesans who are from different social strata. In this case, Osan, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, after a group represented rape.She is alone, with a tree and it seems that is distinguished by this brutal experience, that is the number of cloth around their demands met. The matted hair shows his depraved nature and a sign that a sad end. Remains one of the most fascinating scenes of rape in the history of Ukiyo-e Shunga.

The above list does not include Hokusai's famous "Dream of the fisherman's wife" design and the rape of Utamaro Kappa drawing from his poemPillow Series (both are in my other article in 10 Evocative Shunga Erotic woodcuts!) Because these fantasies are scenes of female protagonists involved, and not by accident.
