The link between the Japanese and the fish that surrounds them is an underlying current in their art and society. Says I.

Actually the whole demon and tentacle rape stuff wasn't taken from medieval european stories? Then again I might be wrong, just read that somewhere. And a squid isn't a demon I guess.

When I discovered that in the Tosa Nikki, Tsurayuki french kissed some disagreeing trout, I lost my last illusions on the historical Japan...

I solved my own question. I guess this is a continuation of art history. Not work safe. is that really an ancient image or is it newer and done in the old style?
This is all I could find that mentions this picture's date. I guess this means it predates the Meiji era.

Guess I'll have to wait until I get home... or until my co-workers take a lunch break, whichever comes first.

That's what I was talking about. Rid is semi-correct, the "modern" tentacle sex idea comes from early 1900's American and European literature... a number of the "spin-off" authors who used H.P. Lovecraft's demons in their works had a more.. vivid imagination than the creator of said demons.

Nah, Cthulhu was always popular with the ladies. With eyes larger than most buildings, you know the guy was well hung. :p

Ever? Or just recently? Recently, he did the piece of artwork featured on the back cover and the CD of KoF 2002 DC.

Also did a postcard of Mai. I thought he said he didn't do it, but I think actually he just 'didn't verify' it specifically.
