The Granddaddy of BL
by rusty
Visual depictions of homosexual intercourse is not something new in Japan, as these shunga (erotic art) show. From what I know, these pieces are from 18th-19th century. All images are from Wikicommons, as usual.
(And one piece of love between the ladies, just because I can.)
For a short but educational read on homosexuality in shunga, check out this article.
Oh yeah, these tengu masks. The nose = phallus. Ohhh Japan.
First thing I saw on twitter was “GRANDDADDY OF BL” LOL! Kudos for that awesome header.
PS: Is it me or did the prostitute in the first picture shaved his…you know?
Lol, he seems shaved, yes!
Gosh, that is great!! Thank you!
But imho the grandson of the first two pix and the granddaughter of the 3rd pic are cuter.;)
