===Decline & Disappearance===
The [[Meiji government]] issued an [[Ordinance Relating to Public Morals]] (''Ishiki kaii jorei'') in [[1872]] banning the sale or consumption of sexually explicit art. However, ''shunga'' fell into decline over the course of the [[Meiji period]] anyway, in part because of the rise of new forms of popular media, including photographs, and due to changing attitudes about fine art and high culture, among other factors.<ref>"[http://shunga.honolulumuseum.org/2014/index.php?page=5 Modern Love: 20th-Century Japanese Erotic Art]," Honolulu Museum of Art, exhibition website, accessed 1 Dec 2014.
