NOTES This almost ten meters long handscroll from the late Meiji era is a rather lewd, yet highly entertaining work. Scantily clothed men with unbelievable large penises figure throughout the work. They are depicted being involved in innumerable sexual contests with each other. These include such festivities as sumo, weight lifting, acrobatics and tug of war.
