"Ehon Tsuhi no Hinagata" is a renowned work by the eminent Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai, who is best known for his iconic woodblock print series "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji," which includes the famous "The Great Wave off Kanagawa." "Ehon Tsuhi no Hinagata," which translates to "Models of Loving Couples," is a shunga (erotic art) book that was published in the early 19th century. Shunga was a popular genre during the Edo period, and Hokusai was among the many ukiyo-e artists who produced works in this category. The book is a collection of illustrations that depict intimate scenes between couples, showcasing Hokusai's skill in capturing human emotion and form.

One sheet from the series "Negai no Itoguchi" (The Prelude to Desire), also by Hokusai, is part of the artist's shunga repertoire. This particular series is less documented than some of Hokusai's other works, but like "Ehon Tsuhi no Hinagata," it would have featured erotic imagery intended for a private audience. The title suggests a focus on the anticipation or beginning of sexual desire, which is a common theme in shunga, aiming to capture the psychological as well as the physical aspects of intimacy.

Both "Ehon Tsuhi no Hinagata" and "Negai no Itoguchi" reflect the broader cultural and artistic context of the Edo period, during which shunga was not only a form of sexual entertainment but also an auspicious talisman for households and a guide for couples. Hokusai's contributions to this genre are noted for their artistic quality and the way they integrate narrative elements, humor, and an attention to detail that elevates them beyond mere titillation.

As with many shunga works, the explicit nature of the content led to a historical stigma, resulting in less scholarly attention compared to other ukiyo-e genres. However, modern scholarship increasingly recognizes the importance of shunga in understanding the social and cultural history of Japan, as well as the full breadth of Hokusai's artistic oeuvre.
