The Surreal, Sexy Art of Japi Honoo

If a time traveler were to go to Edo-period Japan, scatter porn everywhere, and give the finest artists Adobe Illustrator, they might produce something close to the perverted yet alluring images that Japi Honoo has dreamed up.

Though she was born and raised in Italy, Japi's aesthetic clearly draws from Japanese painting. She blends the maternal and the material with the ethereal and bizarre, and still somehow manages to make something arousing. Is that weird? Are we responding to this properly. Oh, Japi, how you torment us.
