Emaki Fart Battle – Yeah, You Read that Right

Back in the Edo period of Japan (between 1603 and 1868), an artist had a genius and hilarious idea: a Fart Battle. The scroll depicts a flatulent fight between, uh, “warriors”.  We are not talking your average after dinner gas. No, this is the gas of the gods! Mighty men who can fart down walls like titans. Only a stiff wind or a fan can resist their airs.

I should drop in a warning. There is a far bit of exposed privates in this (f)artwork. So it may not be safe for work. Anyway, you can also see the entire scroll here.

Not even horses or trees can stand against the firts of fury. It gives you a completely different view of the word kamikaze, divine “wind.”
