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 book is the illustration Kunisada "Shunshoku hatusne no EMU" (TheErotic adventures of six women) by 1842.

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.

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.
