Historical fact:
A form of torture called 'Ishidaki' (Cradling Rock) was performed in the Satsuma domain. They forced the victim to sit upright with legs folded atop a triangular woodcut, and shake his body back and forth after placing 30-kilogram flat stones 30 centimeters wide, a meter long and 10 centimeters thick onto his lap, piled up one by one. Once there were five stones, the bones of the leg would break, which sometimes led to death. This torture was performed on Ikko Sect believers as well as Christians and those who had killed their masters.

In the twenties of the twentieth century, during the Taisho era – a period of westernization after the First World War – the artistic movement called “ero-guru nansensu” (or abbreviated, “eroguru”), spreads in Japan. The name came from the transliteration of the English words “erotic”, “grotesque” and “nonsense”, because it mixed erotic elements with other macabre, grotesque, or even meaningless ones, a combination that we have already seen in some traditional prints. Among different artists who joined this movement, we find Tanizaki Junichiro (author of the novel “The key”) or Edogawa Ranpo.
