Īmong the most famous of the early instances is an illustration from the 1814 Hokusai book Kinoe no Komatsu, known as The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife.
Some of the earliest examples were woodblock prints depicting women being violated by octopi, such as Kitao Shigemasa's Programme of Erotic Noh Plays (1781) and Shunshō Katsukawa's Lust of Many Women on One Thousand Nights (1786). Creatures with tentacles have appeared in Japanese erotica long before animated pornography.
