    Sources regarding propaganda discussed at the end of the show:
    WARNING: This is explicit porn. In case you want to just read what a historian Tim Clark wrote about this piece when it appeared in 2013 exhibition, Shunga: Sex and pleasure in Japanese art, 1600-1900.

    "Popular print culture in Japan was extensively mobilised to support the country’s war effort in the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-5. This is a particularly savage piece of anti-Russian propaganda.A different (presumed earlier) version of the design was produced using different woodblocks. The flag at top left is Russian, the soldiers in the background are Russians fleeing, and the following dialogue appears with the two foreground figures:
    [Russian:] (in Romanised script with katakana glosses) “I think I’m going to die!” (Watakushi mō shinisō desu)
    [Japanese soldier:] “I’ll soon deliver the final blow…” (Sugu todome o sashite yarō)
    [Russians:] “Quick, let’s run away!” (Hayaku nigero) "

    The original korean translation of the print that was found during researching was inaccurate. A full translation from japanese shows this is meant to show the japanese military "raping" the russian military. These prints were very common and popular, though technically illegal. WARNING: https://media.britishmuseum.org/media/Repository/Documents/2014_11/8_12/317b80e3_54cc_4575_8936_a3dd00d07c11/mid_01361913_001.jpg
