Summary

Description
English: "Aquatic monsters and a diver woman." (Kappa to Ama). A page from the erotic shunga book Utamakura. In this illustration from 1788, a female diver (ama) is seen sitting on a rock, watching her partner have sex with two aquatic monsters (kappa). To accentuate the erotic charge, the author placed a basket full of bivalves next to the diver, which during the period in which he created the image were associated with female genitalia.
