"Shunga by Kitagawa Tsukimaro" refers to a genre of Japanese erotic art known as shunga, produced by the artist Kitagawa Tsukimaro (1779–1829), who was active during the late Edo period. Tsukimaro, a pupil of the renowned ukiyo-e artist Kitagawa Utamaro, is recognized for his contributions to the shunga tradition, which often depicted sensual and erotic scenes with an emphasis on beauty and the pleasures of the flesh. Shunga, literally meaning "spring pictures," was a popular form of art that was consumed by a wide range of social classes in Japan for both personal enjoyment and as a form of sex education.

Kitagawa Tsukimaro's shunga works are characterized by their delicate lines, attention to detail, and the use of vibrant colors. His illustrations often included a blend of humor and eroticism, a hallmark of the shunga genre, which distinguished it from purely pornographic material. Tsukimaro's shunga pieces frequently featured the courtesans and inhabitants of the pleasure quarters, capturing the hedonistic atmosphere of the time while also providing insight into the fashions and sexual practices of the Edo period.

Although shunga was not considered high art at the time of its creation and was often produced anonymously to avoid government censorship, modern scholarship has reevaluated the genre, recognizing its artistic value and its role in providing a window into the cultural and social history of Japan. Kitagawa Tsukimaro's shunga, like that of his contemporaries, is now appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its contribution to the broader tapestry of Japanese art history.
