Erotic Literature - Asian Erotic Fiction

Chinese literature has a tradition of erotic literature of its own. The most famous novel is the Jin Ping Mei. Another notable work is The Carnal Prayer Mat by Li Yu(1657). There is also a tradition of erotic fiction in Japan. Fan fiction (see below) and its Japanese counterpart, doujinshi, account for an enormous proportion of all erotica being written today; doujinshi mostly hand-published, fanfic mostly online.
