Senju - Limited Edition Shunga - Misty Moonlight
Senju – Limited Edition Shunga – Oboroyo (misty, moonlit night)
Limited Edition Erotic Shunga Print by Senju
From Senju’s acclaimed 36 Views of Mount Fuji – Shunga Reimagined series, Oboroyo (Misty, Moonlit Night) captures the serenity and sensuality of a secret encounter under the quiet gaze of Mount Fuji. It’s a masterwork of balance — the blending of erotic intimacy with poetic restraint, a hallmark of Senju’s modern revival of Edo-period shunga.
Within the circular framing of a traditional fan are two lovers — their movements calm and deliberate, their bodies rendered in delicate gradients of flesh tones and shadow. Beyond them, the full moon and distant Fuji rise through a veil of mist, evoking stillness, beauty, and impermanence. A lone butterfly rests on the fan’s handle — a classic symbol of transformation and fleeting desire, a reminder that all passion, no matter how intense, eventually fades into memory.
This new edition features stronger coloration, enhanced contrast, and refined linework, enriching the silk-like texture of skin and the quiet atmospheric depth of the background. The result is both timeless and immediate — a visual poem that bridges two centuries of Japanese erotic art.
Size: 29.7 cm x 21 cm
Each print in this limited edition of 50 (per size) is signed and numbered by the artist, carrying his hand-carved red hanko seal at bottom right — a personal emblem of authenticity. Printed on 230gsm archival matte paper, this piece stands as both homage and innovation within Japan’s shunga legacy.
