Kana Kita and Yumi Adachi in shunga-inspired Picture of Spring nude scenes

Kana Kita features in several nude and sex scenes in the film Picture of Spring (2023).

She is seen rising nude from her futon in one alluring shot. In another, even better scene, Kita is shown riding her lover in bed, arching her head back in pleasure (unfortunately, the scene is dimly lit).

Yet another scene — the best — really lingers on her pale skin and small yet beautiful breasts.

Kana Kita (北香那) is a 26-year-old Japanese actress with a few credits on TV and film. Picture of Spring is, in many ways, her big break in the industry.

The film also stars Yumi Adachi, the comely Japanese actress who has done nude scenes in the past (forget the current Shogun TV adaptation’s sex scenes; for your Japanese courtesan kimono sex fix, see Yumi Adachi’s hot scenes in Hanayoi Dochu).

In Picture of Spring, Yumi Adachi is shown in a lesbian embrace with Kana Kita, which is bound to please Adachi’s many fans. She is now in her early forties, so this has the added benefit of satisfying our jukujo (cougar) sex fantasies.

Known in Japanese as Shunga Sensei, we first wrote about this film in June last year, intrigued by its premise.

It promised not only to show explicit shunga prints in all their glory — something unprecedented in a mainstream Japanese movie (i.e., not sexploitation) — but also deal with how erotica affects the people who examine it closely (or rather, a little too closely).

The reviews were somewhat middling and the film didn’t make such a big splash on its release last autumn.

For these pics, we have Nude Asian Film to thank for highlighting the best parts.
