Description : The depictions of embracing couples in Japanese erotic prints provide opportunities for intriguing compositions rarely possible in other genres. In particular, the way in which Eisho intertwines the bodies beyond the point of recognition brings to mind the rebellion against pictorial realism that would eventually come to define Cubism and other modern art movements in Europe during the early 20th century.
