I'm really enjoying SakuUta's depiction of the interrelation between art and eros. Some people like to claim the usage as pornography is a negative influence on visual novels as an art form, but SakuUta is a clear and deliberate counterexample to this belief. There's a clear parallel drawn between the renowned historical artists and their love of nude paintings that Kusanagi references and the erotic art commonly employed in visual novels, as this scene highlights. If anything it shows the restrictions on artistic expression non-erotic mediums have.
