The other day I discovered  Space Teriyaki – wonderful collection of Japanese retro-futurism from the 70s and early 80s. This is not the future that never was (as in early soviet futurism or soc-realism). This is Japanese surrealism meeting space opera, with tiny raw morsels of Philip K. Dick for flavor.

Ichiro Tsuruta, ca. 1985
