Did you think tentacle porn was a recent development? Or, for that matter, erotic manga? Not at all, as Japan possesses a long and glorious history of erotic art going back centuries (as in fact do most cultures), called 春画 / Shunga, which flourished particularly during the reign of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
I came accross an interesting representative sample, and some of the themes may be familiar to you, though some are perhaps more bizarre than contemporary works (unless you spend much time on /d/, in which case these subjects will all be familiar to you). There is even an illustration of someone using an ancient dakimakura. I am mirroring most of the images below, though I leave the illustration of man and his faithful companion as a dubious incentive to visit the originating site, if you dare.
This image is particularly famous: “The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife”, “蛸と海女”, by the exceedingly famous 葛飾北斎 / Katsushika Hokusai, the artist responsible for the renowned ukiyoe print “The Great Wave off Kanagawa”, as well as “36 Views of Mount Fuji”. Strangely enough, most sources are silent on this aspect of his works.
I notice with envy that the ancients never had to deal with Japan’s tedious censorship regime.

You can blame the Meiji people and their feeling of inferiority towards the west for that.
lol i see what you did there
First Tentacle Raep in Manga was found in the Meiji era...AWESOME!!! Too bad no yuri that time
Several hundred years before the Meiji perios, I'm sure you meant. And yuri ero-manga goes back a thousand year in Japan.
omg, the one at the end made me laugh! ahaha! futon (not sure of the spelling) sorry!
first dakimakuraxtenga?
What? I see yuri p0rn there. 8th from the bottom.
Uhm, sorry to say but both scenes depict a man and a woman.
I would laugh so hard if they found an ukiyo-e with futanari on it.
Great historical documents.
Sadly, the source appears to now be a 404.
Ancient Indian stuff owns this.

Which confuses me, because a lot of ancient indian, huge boobied women art bled into buddhist stuff too (religious stuff). Burmese and other cultures west of India are known to have similar histories full of large breasted apsaras, but I really don't know why it didn't reach Japan. Too bad, I guess.
oh wait, the irony. India enjoyed huge boobs in ancient times, but Japan enjoys them now, while India is stuck with their mixed up Christan enforced feelings towards sexuality, go figure.
But then, go to Indian forums and there isn't a single hit of anyone liking anything even close to loli or flat. Love of big boobs are in our blood, and suppressed into our dicks :(
India has no sexuality. It is a country.
Just because it's a county does not mean it lacks sexuality, for instance the Netherlands are bi and Sweden is gay.
Somewhere in there gotta be a vipper challenge...
now im going to have nightmares
