Because the odds are that it was a metaphor for something known to every 19th century Japanese person, but there's also a chance it was just shits and giggles. I want to know which!
Oh, I'm not an art historian or museum studies professional or anything. I was trying to educate myself on fart fetishism (for fetish content creation) and found out about He-gassan. That's also when I learned about kappas (little creatures that attack you through the toilet) and Roland the Flatulist. I'll try to dig up my notes and see what else I can find credible links for.
ETA: Art, history, and human sexuality are my special interests. Just because.
Finally a real masterpiece

Literally a historical shitpost
I desperately want to know the story behind this!

This is why art exists. You can’t capture this in a photo. Excellent details on the back of the nutsacks
Well, I have seen several Japanese videos featuring this cultual touchstone. Knowing this ritual goes back to the 1800's makes me feel so worldly.

This needs to be displayed in someone's bathroom.
I think it should be exhibited next to the Mona Lisa.
This is bedroom art

Classic work of fart
Too much Reddit for me today…
Too much? Or…not enough?
Wild 😂 but good art is!
I fucking love He-gassan! I did a whole deep dive on Edo period fetish art a couple years ago. Fun stuff.
Yes! Please share some of your finds.

Anyone who says farts and sexuality are not their interests is lying.
I personally don't have a fart fetish but I was trying to learn about it lol
Did farts used to be grey cones? Mine don’t look or act like that.
