"A Couple Having Sex, 1880s-90s" is a notable example of shunga, a genre of Japanese erotic art, from the Meiji period. Shunga, which translates to "spring pictures," is a traditional Japanese term for erotic paintings and prints that were popular from the 16th century through the early 20th century. This particular piece is attributed to the Meiji era, a period of rapid modernization and Westernization in Japan from 1868 to 1912. The artwork depicts a couple engaged in sexual activity, a common subject in shunga, which was often characterized by explicit content combined with an element of humor, satire, or affection.

Shunga was produced and enjoyed by a wide range of social classes in Japan, serving not only as a form of sexual entertainment but also as a talisman for good luck and a source of sex education for couples. The artists of shunga, many of whom were also renowned for their non-erotic art, frequently remained anonymous due to the social stigma associated with this genre. The anonymity of the artist behind "A Couple Having Sex, 1880s-90s" is typical of many shunga works.

The Meiji period shunga, while continuing the tradition of earlier Edo period (1603-1868) shunga, also reflects the changing times, with influences from Western art and culture beginning to permeate Japanese society. This particular piece may exhibit such influences in its technique, composition, or subject matter, providing insight into the evolving cultural landscape of Japan during the Meiji era.

As an art form, shunga has been the subject of scholarly interest and art exhibitions, recognized for its importance in the history of Japanese art and its influence on later artists, both in Japan and internationally. "A Couple Having Sex, 1880s-90s" contributes to the rich tapestry of shunga, offering a window into the sexual culture of the Meiji period and the broader artistic traditions of Japan.
