Born in 1936 in Japan, Masami Teraoka has lived in Los Angeles and Hawaii. Throughout his career, he has combined the stylistic conventions of the 19th-century Japanese woodblock print with commentary on contemporary society in Japan and the West. This book examines the full range of his work. His paintings of the 70s--McDonalds Hamburgers Invading Japan and the Wave Series--won a wide audience, with their subtle and amusing parodies.
