The later years of Japan's Edo period saw an influx of foreign influence into this traditionally closed society. It was thus a time of profound change for many Japanese people and xenophobia was on the rise. And one artist, or possibly a group of artists it remains uncertain , chose to represent that struggle between the old and the new in an unusual way. The He-gassen scroll is a long series of paintings executed in a traditional Japanese style that depicts an epic battle between combatants — whose primary weapon seems to be flatulence. In fact, He-gassen translates as "fart battle," "fart war," or "farting competition," and that perfectly describes what's depicted in the scroll. Bending over and hiking up their robes, the men and women in this scroll let loose with mighty streams of gas, uprooting trees and blowing horses and cats through the air as they battle their opponents. Meanwhile, other combatants take a more sophisticated approach, storing up their collective farts in sacks and releasing them like bombs. But beyond the farting itself, there seems to be a basic narrative in the scroll: A group of men come upon another group eating noodles who defend themselves by bending over and farting at the other group. That first group then returns fire and a battle breaks out between the two groups as one side tries to defend itself from the gas using large ornamental fans.

Once upon a time, if you a wealthy enough member of Japanese society, you could hire a person to take the blame whenever you farted in public.
