Hajime Sorayama is a Japanese illustrator known for his design work on the original Sony AIBO (robot dog), Aerosmith’s album art for Just Push Play, the masthead for Heavy Metal Magazine and his precisely detailed, erotic portrayals of feminine robots. He describes his highly detailed style as “superrealism,” which he says “deals with the technical issue of how close one can get to one’s object.”

Master K is an esteemed educator, scholar, and kinbaku expert who remains immersed in the art, history, and culture of Shibari/Kinbaku from Edo-era to its migration from Japan to the West for more than 50 years.
