Suzumi-bune, or Suzumi fune (涼み舟 - "Cool Ship") is a short 1932 pornographic animated film directed by Hakusan Kimura. The film is widely considered to be the first piece of pornographic animation produced in Japan.[1]

The film was in production in 1932 and was planned to be the first part of an erotic two-reeler, but was seized by the police before it was completed. It was consequently never released.

At some point in the early 2000s, the Tokyo police is speculated to have donated what remains of the film to the National Film Center.[2] The print would have been 10 minutes long.[3]
