AAA_chan Exhibition Paris 2026 : The Thirteen Nights

AAA_chan se appropriates the codes of traditional Japanese erotic art to subvert them with irresistible mischief. For her first stop in Paris at Espace Sorbonne 4, the illustrator reinterprets thirteen iconic shunga prints by replacing the lovers of the Edo period with playful felines. Among these creations, a poetic reinvention of Hokusai’s famous octopus comes to life in the form of tender and mischievous cats. This dialogue between classical heritage and Japanese pop culture offers a fresh perspective, both audacious and lighthearted, on once scandalous masterpieces. The artist's delicate touch highlights a perfect fusion between historical elegance and contemporary humor. It is an opportunity to see how AAA_chan transforms past provocation into a poetic celebration of feline sweetness.
