Wear tentacle sex on your feet with Hokusai shunga erotic print sneakers

The Internet allows us to have tentacle porn at our fingertips, but what about on our feet?

In a further sign that shunga Japanese erotic woodblock prints are no longer the taboo they once were, now you can enjoy Hokusai’s The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife (or more literally, The Octopus and the Female Diver, which is probably the most famous (and arguably original) iteration of tentacle sex, on your feet with these sneakers.

A crowdfunding campaign has been launched in Japan to raise ¥500,000 to make these sneakers a product. So far, the organizers have attracted 33 patrons and half its funding target. There are 28 days to go until the end of the campaign. (Somewhat ironically, the shoes are actually made in China.)

The sneakers are very nicely designed, spreading out the Hokusai visuals across the two shoes so you can put your feet together and recreate the print.

Here is the original from 1814.

Hokusai’s iconic image, which depicts a large octopus having sex with a woman, has continued to inspire Japanese erotic art and photography in the present, and even TV shows.
