"Shunga, Enshoku Shidanasame Onna" is a Japanese woodblock print created by Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Toyokuni III, who was a prolific and influential ukiyo-e artist of the late Edo period. The term "shunga" refers to a genre of Japanese erotic art that was popular from the 16th through the 19th centuries. These prints often depicted sensual and explicit scenes, but with a level of artistry and attention to detail that has led to their appreciation as significant cultural and historical artifacts.

Kunisada's "Shunga, Enshoku Shidanasame Onna" is part of this tradition and exemplifies the artist's skill in capturing the beauty and eroticism of the human form. The title of the piece can be translated as "Erotic Picture, Woman of the Pleasure Quarters," and it portrays a scene of intimate encounter typical of shunga art. The work is characterized by its delicate lines, rich coloration, and the intricate patterns of the subjects' garments, which are often partially draped or removed to enhance the erotic nature of the image.

As with many shunga prints, Kunisada's work was not merely intended to titillate but also to educate. Shunga were sometimes given to newlywed couples and were thought to contain elements of sexual guidance and good luck. Kunisada's expertise in the bijin-ga genre, which focused on beautiful women, is evident in this piece, where the female form is both celebrated and idealized.

The specific print "Shunga, Enshoku Shidanasame Onna" is part of Kunisada's broader oeuvre, which includes over 20,000 designs for woodblock prints. His work in shunga contributed to the genre's development and its enduring legacy within Japanese art. While explicit in content, shunga like Kunisada's are now studied for their historical context, artistic merit, and the light they shed on the sexual culture of Edo-period Japan.

Due to the nature of shunga as a genre, and the shifting attitudes towards erotic art over time, the reception and availability of Kunisada's "Shunga, Enshoku Shidanasame Onna" have varied. Today, it is recognized as an important piece of the ukiyo-e tradition and is studied by scholars interested in Japanese art, culture, and history.
