“A detailed scene portraying a man sleeping off his hangover lying behind a mosquito net while his cheating partner is making love in another part of the room. The drool from the mouth of the drunkard, his heavily tattooed upper arms and the fallen sake bowl betray the great attention to details and empathy of the artist.”

“A voracious man is impatiently waiting for his wife who has interrupted their love-making to drink some water.”

“An unusual design with the image divided by a diagonal line portraying two scenes. The below image features a hard-working author who is making love to a vigorous female. The upper image depicts a street scene which very well could be the authors’ thoughts or displaying his writings.”

“Women behind the latticed windows of a brothel with passersby. The picture illustrates throngs of people in the Yoshiwara. Interested men could look at women sitting in the latticed parlours and choose someone who 
appealed to them.”

“A humorous shunga design of a male voyeur with an erected penis. Look for the swollen veins on the side of his forehead.”

“A nice interior scene of a brothel with an oiran (high-class courtesan), standing with her back to the viewer, as the central figure of the image standing on the top of the stairs. She is surrounded by other colleagues and young servants (kamuro). In the background through the transparant walls one can see the silhouettes of partying courtesans and their clients.”

“Two kago (traveling chair) carriers are trying to allure (“Two passengers, no problem!”) passersby to use their service.”
