Utagawa Kuniyosh's BALLerific Art



Your idea of what these illustrations might be trying to depict are probably quite blurry, but don't stress it, you're not alone. This is Utagawa Kuniyoshi's artwork and it's not the first time he depicts animals acting out all forms of activities with their handy scrotums. The first instinct was seen in the Studio Ghibli film Pom Poko where tanuki's unfurled their testicles for use as a sitting mat, parachute and more. The art is creative and indeed amusing, but is it worth buying and hanging up?
