		The art of the Shunga and Early Andhra periods is representative of the shravakayana phase of early Indian Buddhism, that completes the first half millennium of the Buddhist era, that the Buddha in early texts is reported to have said would be closest to the Dharma he offered.

		A dirt road past Shunga was cleared in the 1950s using corvee labor conscripted by the chiefs to facilitate colonial tax collection This, as well as higher world coffee prices, led to a brief flourishing in the coffee market.
		In Shunga, the primary means of economic subsistence remains the individual with a hoe and land.
		But I am fairly sure that a population (like Shunga or the !Kung in the past) which reproduces a style of life independent of market-based decision-making or, as in the case of Shunga, is able to expand into unoccupied frontier, needs to be evaluated by different criteria.

		The tradition of the shunga painting began in the 7th or 8th century and the ukiyo-e woodblock print in the late 17th century.
		Despite the great number of shunga pieces printed and painted over the last thousand years a great many of them have been destroyed by overzealous censors, indignant Christian missionaries, and, of course, the ferocity of natural causes such as the Great Fire of Edo in 1657.
		This exhibition of Japanese erotica (shunga), and related material, will feature a wide variety of sexual imagery, from heterosexual to homosexual, from kinky to vanilla, from humorous to romantic, and from conventional sex to quite unusual lovemaking.

		The acceptance of prostitution at the time helped to make the shunga books popular but it was the teaching aspect and the artistic style itself that really drove shunga’s popularity.
		It is this light treatment of sex that shunga thrived on and the reason that only those in the government could take offence to the books.
		Starting with shunga books and moving on to modern manga, Japanese society’s views on sex were made more and more public and open and contribute to a society that is sexually healthy and does not have the sexual problems of a society such as the United States.

		There has been as well a tendency to isolate shunga within its historical moment and a refusal to consider it within any of the frameworks constructed by historical materialism, feminist theory, or by discussions about pornography.
		However, the creating of a world that is visually "beautiful, gentle, and pacific" is a kind of convention that arose in Japan from before the Edo period, and it is clearly a mistake to be under the impression that it is reflection of the way things actually were in the Edo period.
		Based on this kind of misunderstanding, the contemporary discourse on shunga celebrates the Edo period society that gave birth to shunga, which in turn allows for a celebration of the entirety of Japanese culture prior to contact with the West and modernity.
