Today, we are lucky. For entertainment, we have television, video games, and the internet. Back in olden times, people had to be more creative with their diversionsāmake that, very creative.
Scholars at elite institute Waseda University posted images from an Edo-era proto-manga scroll āWar of the Fartsā.
Mangaās nascent beginnings are grounded in picture scrolls. Many of them depicted animals. This one depicted fart battles.
Itās rather crude, yes, but silly and humorousāno doubt, the point.
Note that the scroll does feature butts, boob, pubic hair, hairy testicles, people farting in bags, people farting through screens, people fanning farts, and dual fart attacks. If you are sensitive to such imagery, be warned.
Many more images can be found in the link below.
