Photographer : Daikichi Amano

Im willing to bet that your first reaction from looking at this picture is somewhere along the lines of shock, but what Daikichi Amano is illustrationg through photography is a form of Shunga, which is an ancient form of Japanese erotic art.  In Amano’s shunga you will almost always find a beautiful siren in some warrior-like posture enveloped by some object or animal… in this case Octopus.  Culture Shock!

You have to see some of the other pictures we found along with this one, check them out on beautifuldecay.com especially the one with the dolls!
