Hentai (変態 or へんたい) is a Japanese word that means "strange appearance". However, in colloquial situations it often means "perverted" and is subsequently used in many other countries to refer to anime, manga, and computer games with explicit sexual or pornographic content.
My Japanese dictionary defines it as "sexual perversion."
During the Edo Period, which was the heyday of ukiyo-e wood-block prints, ukiyo-e had a pornographic variant, called shunga, which also had scenes that were sometimes surreal. Some noted shunga artists are:
Hishikawa Moronobu
Katsushika Hokusai
Miyagawa Isshô
Yanagawa Shigenobu
