Having grown up both in Japan and the United States, Masami often produces work that draws inspiration from both cultures. The resulting art is usually very sexually charged, and he often mixes in elements of humor or innuendo to cast a critical eye on certain aspects of a globalized society.

When coupled with the fact that “drip” is also pronounced as “dare” in Japanese, one starts to unfold the layers of meaning and hidden power struggle.
