The Most Popular Hentai Genres
The roots of hentai can be traced back to ancient Japan with the emergence of shunga, erotic art that gained prominence as early as the 8th century. Shunga depicted explicit sexual acts at a time when discussing sex was taboo, laying the groundwork for future erotic expressions in Japanese art. However, strict censorship laws imposed by the government led to a decline in shunga's popularity until Japan's surrender in 1945 abolished such restrictions.
