The painting "The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife" by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai was first published in 1814 as a wood-panel print. The picture is from the collection "Kinoe no Komatsu", which was published in three parts. It is the erotic Japanese art form "Shunga" and is probably the most famous work of the artist Hokusai. The painting shows a naked woman who can be satisfied by two squid. Many other artists such as Félicien Rops, Auguste Rodin, Louis Aucoc, even Pablo Picasso were influenced by the work of Katsushika Hokusai. Pablo Picasso painted his own version of the picture in 1903, which was exhibited next to the original in Japan. The image is often referred to as the pioneer of the so-called "tentacle erotica", which is used in modern Japanese society since the late 20th century, often in anime or manga as a motif.
