The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife
, also known as ''Girl Diver and Octopi'', ''Diver and Two Octopi'', etc., is a woodcut design of the ukiyo-e genre by the Japanese artist Hokusai. It is from the book ''Kinoe no Komatsu'' ((英語:Young Pines)), a three-volume book of shunga erotica first published in 1814, and is the most famous shunga Hokusai ever produced. Playing with themes popular in Japanese art, it depicts a young ama diver entwined sexually with a pair of octopuses.
==History and description==
''Octopi and shell diver'' is the most famous image in ''Kinoe no Komatsu'', published in three volumes from 1814, during the Edo period. The book is a work of shunga, a form of erotic art popularized by the ukiyo-e movement.〔Uhlenbeck, p. 56; 161.〕 The image, Hokusai's most famous shunga design, depicts a woman, evidently an ''ama'' (a shell diver), enveloped in the arms of two octopuses. The larger of the two mollusks performs cunnilingus on her, while the smaller one, his son, assists on the left by fondling her mouth and left nipple. In the text above the image the woman and the creatures express their mutual sexual pleasure from the encounter.〔Uhlenbeck, p. 161.〕
The work is untitled in the publication; it is generally known as ''Tako to ama'' in Japanese, translated variously into English. Richard Douglas Lane calls it ''Girl Diver and Octopi'';〔Lane, p. 163〕 Mathi Forrer calls it ''Pearl Diver and Two Octopi'';〔Forrer, p. 124〕 and Danielle Talerico calls it ''Diver and Two Octopi''.〔Talerico 24-42.〕 It measures 6½" × 8¾" (16.51 cm × 22.23 cm).〔(Famous Shunga Masterpiece Diving Girl With Octopus - Hokusai - c.1814 ) AK Antiek.
