The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife is an erotic woodcut made around 1820 by the Japanese artist Hokusai. 

A shot of the work printed on a postcard that is being looked at by Anaïs Nin at the beginning of the 1990 film Henry & June earned the movie the very first NC-17 film rating.

The significance of the absence of men in fishermen’s villages is also testified to by the fact that the first dildos were found in fishermen’s villages.
