You want to know about the movie? It’s a Japanese Sci-Fi Porn feature from the year 2000. A very weird movie about replicants selling virtual sex. I watched half of it and most at double speed. Too strange for me. Check out the official ‘flashy’ site with lot’s of info about the film, the cast and it’s female director Shu Lea Cheang.
In Japanese, IKU means going. When arriving at orgasm, the Japanese call out IKU, IKU. IKU is coming in Japanese. IKU is orgasm. (thus says the back cover) Also check out Marco’s post about Japanese sex slang.
I could not find anything about the design company, but I did find this article about the founder of the agency, Yasumichi Oka. Tugboat seems to be one of Japan’s most-sought-after and -award-laden shops, with a client list that includes Kirin Beverage, East Japan Railway Co. and TV network tbs.
Today I present to you the work of Makoto Nakamura. A Japanese designer born in 1926. I will not bore you with his biography, but the man won several awards and his work was exhibited in the Louvre in Paris and the National Museum of Modern Art in Japan. Check out more of his graphic work here.
