*''Date: c. [[1172]]''
*''Japanese'': 小柴垣草紙 or 小柴垣草子 ''(koshibagaki zoushi)''
The ''Brushwood Fence Scroll'' was a handscroll painting depicting erotic encounters between [[Heian period|Heian]] courtiers, painted around [[1172]] and given to [[Taira no Tokuko]] (Kenreimon-in) as a wedding present, on the occasion of her marriage to [[Emperor Takakura]]. The earliest example of Japanese erotic painting about which anything is known, the scroll acquired a particular classical or canonical status among ''[[shunga]]'' artists of the [[Edo period]], who referenced it or reproduced its imagery while claiming, either sarcastically or with some degree of sincerity, a link to elite classical court culture.
