Tentacled creatures appeared in Japanese erotica long before animated pornography. Among the most famous of the early instances—and perhaps the first—is an illustration from the novel Kinoe no komatsu of 1814 by Katsushika Hokusai. It is an example of shunga (Japanese erotic art) and has been reworked by a number of artists. Australian artist David Laity reworked the design into a painting of the same name, and Masami Teraoka brought the image up to date with his 2001 work "Sarah and Octopus/Seventh Heaven", part of his Waves and Plagues collection.

  • Tentacled creatures appeared in Japanese erotica long before animated pornography. Among the most famous of the early instances—and perhaps the first—is an illustration from the novel Kinoe no komatsu of 1814 by Katsushika Hokusai. It is an example of shunga (Japanese erotic art) and has been reworked by a number of artists. Australian artist David Laity reworked the design into a painting of the same name, and Masami Teraoka brought the image up to date with his 2001 work "Sarah and Octopus/Seventh Heaven", part of his Waves and Plagues collection. A scholarly paper by Danielle Talerico showed that although western audiences have often interpreted Hokusai’s famous design as rape, Japanese audiences of the Edo period would have associated it with consensual sex. Edo audiences would recognize the print as depicting the legend of the female abalone diver Tamatori. In the story, Tamatori steals a jewel from the Dragon King. However, during her egress, the Dragon King and his sea-life minions (including octopodes) pursue her. Furthermore, within the dialogue in the illustration itself, the diver and two octopodes express mutual enjoyment.
