Japanese Sci-Fi Drawings by Okyama, Japan-based Yasuto Sasada
Combining traditional Japanese cultural tropes with a sci-fi
sensibility, Sasada has his own visual language that combines cultural traditions
with the future. His detailed pen drawings of creatures mix motifs from
modern technology and religion. Their black and white tonality, achieved
with a thin 0.3mm pen, is harshly contrasted against bright pink,
blue, and green backgrounds. He’s created a new form of drawing that
juxtaposes old and contemporary ideas, taking us into an entirely new
dimension.
"I draw creatures ranging from tigers, toki (Japanese crested ibis), crayfish and many more… These creatures are revived, and re-start to breathe and regain their well-being. Nonetheless, all of these creatures will have a machine installed in their bodies and regain their lives. This is my message of “life” towards all living creatures."
