- Kabuki theater originated in the early 1600s in Japan and was originally performed by female troupes, though later transitioned to using male actors for all roles, including female roles played by onnagata specialists
- During the Edo period, onnagata and wakashu occupied distinct gender roles outside of Kabuki, though onnagata drew from techniques developed by wakashu; today, onnagata are seen solely as an artform mastered by male actors
- While onnagata retain their identity as men, they stylizedly portray women through techniques learned from historic onnagata like Yoshizawa Ayame, seeking to depict women through a male perspective

Exploring the 'Floating World'_ Understanding Edo Period Japan (1).pptxAakashChavda4
This presentation offers a concise look at Japan during the Edo period, focusing on its vibrant entertainment district and cultural dynamics. It covers art, literature, theater, and daily life, highlighting the emergence of ukiyo-e prints and societal influences.
Tokyo National Gallery - A Brief History of Japanese ArtJerry Daperro
Opened in 1968, the Tokyo National Museum includes an excellent and eclectic collection of non-Japanese Eastern art, in particular Chinese and Korean arts that ranges from textiles to sculpture and ceramics. Because of the vast scope of its exhibits, this slideshow is concentrated only on the development of art in Japan, with emphasis on the development of Japanese paintings. From the pre-historic artefacts, it is evident how little we known about the ancient cultures that existed in Japan before history. It fires our imagination as what kind of cultures that these people left behind. “Between the fourth century and the ninth century, Japan's many kingdoms and tribes gradually came to be unified under a centralized government, nominally controlled by the Emperor.” Wikipedia. This slideshow is a sketch of the major developments in paintings from its beginning in the 11C to early 20C.

Homeroticism in Asia / Sexuality & The Illustrated Text - Homosexual and Lesbian Sex in Shunga
Shunga / Ukiyo in Japan
The word "ukiyo," means "floating world," and is Buddhist in origin. Prior to the Tokugawa period (1603 to 1868) the phrase suggested a sadness or anxiety regarding the transitory nature of this world. During this later period ukiyo came to mean a location of pleasure, consumption, sensuality, and hedonism, but with a positive connotation of "the world of pleasure." The term, Shunga, is translated as "Images of Spring", as the word spring has connections to the idea of youthful sexuality and vigor. For example the phrase, "selling spring," relates to the sale of sexual services, although the meaning is different in the emotive sense than the English term "prostitution." Shunga is a very general term used to describe Japanese erotic prints, books, scrolls and paintings. Many ukiyo or shunga are colored woodblock prints which were produced for a mass audience and were the most popular art form of the time. In the Tokugawa period vast numbers of these works were made using this simple printing process, which enabled the prints to be priced affordably enough for the general public to enjoy. The most popular of these works dealt with beauty and sex and show celebrities such as actors, sumo wrestlers and courtesans, the celebrations of youth, love, sexuality, nature and human emotions. All artists involved with this process of print making were also making Shunga works and no shame was associated with the creation, sale or ownership of these erotic images, which reflected the fact that Japanese society held the belief that the body and sex were a part of the natural world.
Men, youths and courtesans in a brothel, Ishikawa Toyonobu, Folio of woodblock print on paper, c. 1730-40
Many shunga or ukiyo depict male-male sex and female-female sex acts, although it was not until the 1990's that much writing on these works was published. This was due in part to official Japanese censorship. It was also previously thought that all shunga were created for a male audience, but more recently this had been disproved. Inagaki Tsurujo is a female artist from the 18th century who painted Woman Manipulating a Glove Puppet, which is a not-so subtle image expressing female sexuality and control.
This is an example of a painting which does not directly depict a sex act. Similarly there are many shunga works which depict social scenes of everyday life where homosexual love is only hinted at and much is left to the imagination. There are also images of courtship, kissing and fondling as well as more explicit images.
The earliest shunga works are by Hishikawa Moronobu and his school from 1660 to 1670 and were created as erotic manuals for courtesans. With growing prosperity in Edo (Tokyo) merchants were becoming wealthier and embracing shunga as part of a lifestyle of leisure and diversions. Stores in the pleasure quarters of Edo, sold shung ...
