Humor and satire combine with a vibrant iconography drawn from Japanese and Western sources-catfish, trickster, fox, ghost, snake, ninja, samurai, geisha, Adam and Eve, punk rockers, and television. Teraoka's work moves from the indulgent pleasures of ukiyo, or the \"floating world\" of ancient theater and pleasure houses, to a chastened consciousness of death and evil with a majestic virtuosity unique in contemporary art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51882773840160,"sku":"NEW0834803526","price":74.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51NTBVX3D9L.jpg?v=1781849017","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/paintings-by-masami-teraoka-0834803526","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
