Artist: Sadao Hasegawa

I've been meaning to get a post or two of Sadao Hasegawa's art up for quite some time now, but my Hasegawa folder is such a mess that I've been putting it off, avoiding the cleanup I know I'll get into once I get started. But since I really wanted to post his work before the second month of our Artist's Showcase is over, I decided to wade in and just grab some of my favorites. So my files may still be a mess, but at least I got enough resolved to make a couple of good sized posts.

I tried to avoid using pictures I know I've posted before - there's so much of his work out there that I hate repeating myself. So if you're new to smutday and are wondering what else I've posted by Hasegawa, you can check out the Sadao Hasegawa Gallery over on my Scrapbook. The newest art is at the top, of course, but you can find the older pictures at the bottom of the gallery.

Hasegawa was a fascinating artist - I love the way he mixed images from a number of different Asian, Indian and African cultures and beliefs together to form his art. The link in the first paragraph will take you to the largest collection of his art that I've seen on the internet - I've found maybe half a dozen pictures that they don't have copies of on this site. But with a lot of searching, I've found some much larger copies than what you may see there, so be sure and click through to the scrapbook to see the bigger sizes. Just be warned: some of the files are huge.

There is an NC17 rated post coming up next. And if I'm up to it, I'll have another Hasegawa post for Fetish Fridays - I saved all the bondage pictures for that post. There are a few icons for you at the bottom of the post. Help yourselves, just please remember to credit smutday!

Enjoy!
