"Twelve Bouts of Passionate Love" (情熱の十二廻り合い, Jōnetsu no Jūni Mawari Ai) is a series of Japanese woodblock prints, known as shunga, by the artist Isoda Koryūsai. Created during the Edo period, this collection is considered one of Koryūsai's seminal works, showcasing his mastery in the ukiyo-e genre of printmaking, particularly within the erotic subgenre. The series, as the title suggests, consists of twelve prints, each depicting a different intimate encounter between lovers, characterized by their passionate expressions and intricate detail.

Koryūsai, active from the 1760s to the 1780s, was a prominent ukiyo-e artist who initially worked under the tutelage of Harunobu before establishing his own distinctive style. His work in shunga contributed significantly to the genre, and "Twelve Bouts of Passionate Love" stands out for its artistry and the way it captures the hedonistic atmosphere of the pleasure quarters of Edo (modern-day Tokyo).

The prints in the series are notable for their dynamic compositions, the use of delicate lines, and the careful attention to patterns and textiles, which add a layer of visual interest and context to the erotic scenes. Each image is a complex tableau that goes beyond mere eroticism, offering insights into the customs and fashions of the time.

"Twelve Bouts of Passionate Love" is not only a testament to Koryūsai's skill as an artist but also an important historical document that provides a window into the sexual culture of Edo-period Japan. The series is highly regarded among collectors and scholars of Japanese art and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and cultural significance.

As with many works of shunga, the series was likely intended for a broad audience, including both men and women, and was consumed for both pleasure and education. Today, "Twelve Bouts of Passionate Love" is preserved in various art institutions and private collections, contributing to the understanding of Edo-period art and society.
