Shunga is roughly divided into handwriting and woodblock prints like other ukiyo-e. The mainstream of handwriting is a one-of-a-kind picture scroll drawn by a painter on paper or silk, and woodblock prints are mainly printed books printed on woodblock prints and braids with 12 themed spring paintings. Buyers of hand-painted paintings were limited to some privileged classes who could ask painters to produce them, and luxurious private editions were created. With the development of woodblock technology in the latter half of the 17th century, it became possible to mass-produce spring paintings and publish low-priced editions, and it became possible for ordinary people to enjoy themselves.
