Shunga Erotic Art — The Art of Sensuality
Shunga Erotic Art is not just a brand of intimate cosmetics; it is a true bridge between art, sensuality, and a profound understanding of bodily pleasure. Inspired by Japanese erotic art from the Edo period, the brand transports us to a world where every touch becomes a masterpiece and every moment of intimacy is poetry in motion.
Origins and Philosophy of the Brand
The story of Shunga began in 1988 in Montreal, Canada, when Sylvain Séguin and Manon Vallée founded Eau Zone Oils & Fragrances, specialising in high-quality cosmetics. In 2000, they decided to combine their passion for art and intimate cosmetics, creating the Shunga Erotic Art brand, which quickly gained popularity thanks to its unique blend of aesthetics and functionality.
Inspired by Japanese Art
The brand's name derives from the Japanese term "shunga," meaning "spring pictures" — erotic prints popular in Japan from the 16th to the 18th century. These artworks depicted intimate scenes with great attention to detail, beauty, and emotion. Shunga Erotic Art draws inspiration from this tradition, creating products that offer not only physical pleasure but also aesthetic delight.
