Senju – Limited Edition Shunga – Midoshi (year of the snake)
 
A striking single-figure study framed by a circular mirror, where patterned silk and bold snake tattoo imagery create a dramatic contrast against pale skin.  The serpent coils across the body as both decoration and symbol, echoing the zodiac year of the snake and evoking themes of transformation, danger, and allure.  Senju’s controlled symmetry and rich textile detail turn overt exposure into a composed emblem — sensuality presented as icon rather than scene.
 
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.
