Tentacle Tuesday by Yuji Moriguchi
6th June 2023
Tentacle Tuesday is here to release the beast in you
A theme mainly inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s Great Cthulhu
But long before Howard’s obsession took its tentacular shape
Japanese masters created the erotic fantasy about cephalopods
Which were supposed to arouse irrepressible sexual attraction
With the fair sex, albeit not exclusively
In his uncommonly prissy schoolgirl illustration
Japanese artist Yuji Moriguchi b.1971 suggests
The purely intellectual starting point of this fascination
Tentacles are indeed helpful for turning pages…
