Jiraiya / Sadao Hasegawa - The art of Jiraiya / Sadao Hasegawa - 1996-2007

From Japan comes this fabulous collection of gay erotic art. Hasegawa's work really is quite unique - like Tom of Finland, he has given the gay male world more classic iconic images which though thoroughly Japanese have become truly international. His work is both incredibly sexy and an amazing hybrid -- influenced by major world cultures.

Jiraiya (児雷也) is a Japanese gay manga artist and illustrator. He is noted for his homoerotic, hyperreal drawings of gachimuchi (ガチムチ, "muscle-curvy" or "muscle-chubby") men, and for his use of digital illustration in his artwork.

Japanese iconography figures heavily into Jiraiya's artwork, including kendo and judo uniforms, Buddhist monks, festival costumes, and fundoshi. His narrative works are typically comic and light-hearted in tone, contrasting the sadomasochistic material of his peers, and deal with themes of group sex, romance, and athletic competition.
