"Patterns of Loving Couples" (Japanese: 恋のいろは) is a series of shunga, or erotic art, by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created during the Edo period, this collection is considered one of Hokusai's forays into the shunga genre, which was a common practice among ukiyo-e artists of the time. Shunga works were often characterized by their explicit depictions of sexual scenes, paired with elements of humor, tenderness, and life's everyday realities.

Hokusai, best known for his iconic print "The Great Wave off Kanagawa," brought his distinctive style and exquisite attention to detail to "Patterns of Loving Couples." The series showcases a variety of intimate encounters between couples, reflecting the customs and sexual mores of the Edo society. Hokusai's use of line, color, and composition in these works not only serves to titillate but also to explore the connection between human emotion and physical love.

While shunga was not considered high art at the time of its creation, it played a significant role in the sexual education and entertainment of adults in Japan. Hokusai's contributions to the genre are noted for their artistic quality and the way they capture the intricacies of human relationships. "Patterns of Loving Couples" remains an important part of Hokusai's oeuvre, offering insight into the private lives of Edo-period Japan and contributing to the broader understanding of the cultural context in which these works were produced.

As with many shunga works, "Patterns of Loving Couples" was produced in limited quantities and was circulated discreetly among patrons. Today, these pieces are studied by art historians and scholars for their cultural and historical significance, as well as their technical mastery. They are preserved in various art collections and museums around the world, contributing to the legacy of Katsushika Hokusai as one of Japan's most influential and celebrated artists.
