'Abuna-e' refers to suggestive and sensual images, a substratum of the more explicit 'shunga' [lit. spring pictures]. In Japan, the late eighteenth century saw such imagery banned under new laws, forcing artists who still desired to produce them to leave their works unsigned. Although these designs may appear rather innocuous, some contemporaries considered abuna-e more erotically charged due to their workings on the imagination.
