"Twelve Erotic Scenes of Courtesans and Clients" (十二色恋模様) is a series of ukiyo-e prints by the Japanese artist Nishikawa Sukenobu (1671–1750), who was active during the Edo period. Sukenobu, known for his depictions of women and genre scenes of everyday life, was based in Kyoto and thus developed a style distinct from the Edo-based artists like Hishikawa Moronobu and later, Utamaro and Hokusai. The series, as suggested by its title, comprises twelve prints that explore the intimate and sensual encounters between courtesans and their clients.

Each scene in the series is a shunga, or erotic print, a genre that was popular and widely circulated during the Edo period. Shunga works often included explicit sexual imagery combined with elements of wit, satire, and social commentary. Sukenobu's "Twelve Erotic Scenes of Courtesans and Clients" not only provides a glimpse into the sexual culture of the time but also reflects the aesthetics and fashion of the pleasure quarters, particularly those in Kyoto.

The prints in the series are characterized by their delicate lines and attention to detail, particularly in the depiction of textiles and interior settings. Sukenobu's work is noted for its refined elegance and the subtlety of its eroticism, setting it apart from the more explicit shunga of some of his contemporaries. The series is an important example of Sukenobu's contribution to the shunga genre and offers valuable insights into the social history of sexuality and the arts during the Edo period.

As an artist, Nishikawa Sukenobu had a significant influence on the development of ukiyo-e, particularly in the Kansai region. His works, including the "Twelve Erotic Scenes of Courtesans and Clients," are considered important for the study of Japanese art history and the cultural context of the Edo period. The series is held in various art collections and has been the subject of scholarly research, contributing to our understanding of the period's visual and erotic culture.
