Artist Yuji Moriguchi mixes Manga with traditional Japanese painting to create bizarre sexual imagery that is as rich as it is decadent. Tipping his hat to great Japanese masters like Hokusai, Moriguchi infuses tradition, mysticism, voyeurism, bestiality, and mundane reality with a modernist touch in a combination that shouldn’t make sense, but somehow does.
…I had you at “bestiality,” didn’t I?
In his December interview with PingMag, he explains the development of his style and how moving to Tokyo after graduating from Kyoto Seika University’s Manga department dramatically transformed his work. It’s a good read, but be warned: it’s not entirely suitable for work.
