Sexbot Pin-up Artist Hajime Sorayama Unveils New Gynoid Art

Famous illustrator returns to Tokyo with two tech-inspired exhibits.

New Hajime Sorayama

Ah, the 80’s: Ghostbusters, Madonna’s “Like A Virgin,” big hair, and Hajime Sorayama—the artist who famously mixed high-tech imagery with good, old-fashioned cheesecake.

In doing, the Japanese artist so set sci-fi fans’ hearts a-flutter. 

Now, almost 40 years later, Sorayama has returned in all his sexy and shiny glory with a show at Tokyo’s NANZUKA Gallery.

Helping to define an artistic genre

For many, the name Sorayama may not ring a bell, but they’ll likely recognize his work.

Though he worked previously as an illustrator for many years, it was Sorayama’s book Sexy Robot, published in 1983 in Japan and then subsequently imported to the United States and other countries, that brought Sorayama almost immediate attention—and legions of enthusiastic fans.

While it’s quite common these days for artists to combine technological details with erotic imagery, mostly of the female variety, Sorayama was one of the very first to put those two stylistic elements together. 

His recognition, though, didn’t just come from giving women chrome detailing. He did it with a level of technical skill that, even to this day, is eye-popping: no matter their poses or their machined manufacturing, his women look more photographed than painted.

For quite a few years after Sexy Robot, and as other books of his illustrations were released, Sorayama’s work became a regular fixture in art magazines, on trading cards, as resin model kits, and as posters on many young nerds’ bedroom walls.

New show with new works

One more exhibition at Nanzuka 2G 🦖

Opened briefly last month, NANZUKA features Sorayama in two separate shows. The first, called “Sex Matter,” is in their main gallery, while the other show, called “Trex,” is in their “2G” studio, located at Shibuya Parco, Tokyo. 

The “Sex Matter” works—paintings as well as sculptures—will be at times explicitly erotic. Of these, Sorayama is quoted by HypeBeast.com as saying that he was aiming to reflect that “life is born in this world through the existence of both the male and female sex.”

“Trex,” meanwhile, will be mostly depictions of Sorayama’s other famous style: that of mixing technological imagery with dinosaurs rather than women.

The exhibits at NANZUKA are temporarily closed until March 31.

However, you can view more of Sorayama’s erotic and tech-inspired artwork on the artist’s Instagram or by visiting the NANZUKA website.

M.Christian (they/them) loves nothing better than exploring the intersections of sex and technology—and speculating on the future of both. A highly regarded erotica writer they have six novels,12 collections, 100+ short stories, and 25 anthologies as an editor to their name. Their non-fiction regularly appears in many sites, but they're most proud of being a regular contributor to Future of Sex.

Of their erotic fiction, Tristan Taormino said that “M.Christian is a literary stylist of th... e highest caliber: smart, funny, frightening, sexy—there's nothing [they] can't write about… and brilliantly.”

Reflecting their unique ability to sympathetically and convincingly write for a range of genders and sexual orientations, their stories have appeared in multiple editions of Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, The Mammoth Books of Erotica, and others. Their collection of gay erotic fiction, Dirty Words, was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award.

While a majority of their stories have been collected into books like Dirty Words, their fondness for combining sex and science fiction is clearly evident in collections that include Rude Mechanicals, Technorotica, Better Than The Real Thing, Skin Effect Effect, Bachelor Machine, and Hard Drive: The Best Sci-Fi Erotica of M.Christian.

As a novelist, M.Christian’s versatility is on full display with Running Dry, The Very Bloody Marys, Brushes, Painted Doll; and the somewhat controversial queer BDSM/horror/thrillers Finger's Breadth, and Me2.

M.Christian has worked on the industry’s production side as an Associate Publisher for Renaissance E Books and as a Publisher for Digital Parchment Services. The latter dedicated to celebrating the works of science-fiction legends such as William Rotsler, Jerome Bixby, Jody Scott, Arthur Byron Cover, Ernest Hogan, and James Van Hise.

Covering topics like BDSM safety, sexual education, senior sexuality concerns, queer and gender issues, plus reviewing a variety of sex tech products, M.Christian’s non-fiction has appeared on sites like Kinkly, Tickle.Life, Sexpert, Queer Majority, Sex for Every Body, and—of course—their ongoing work for Future of Sex.

If there’s anything M.Christian enjoys more than writing, it’s teaching. A featured presenter, sometimes with their friend Ralph Greco Jr, at national sex and BDSM events, they have lectured on kink play (with an emphasis on safety), polyamory, boosting sexual creativity, and erotica writing--for beginners or those wanting to go pro.

M.Christian is a cohost on two popular sex-education podcasts: Love’s Outer Limits with Dr. Amy Marsh and Licking Non-Vanilla with Ralph Greco, Jr.
