Note from the artist:

When I adapt a scene into Ukiyo-e, I usually translate all the scene's elements into an 1800s Edo period style.

However, for this particular print I decided to work in the modern Shin-hanga style, which is known for its realism and much more complex color schemes.

Because of this, I did not adapt the design of the costuming, cityscape or spaceships. Instead I wanted to focus on the world as it is presented.

The right cartouche reads スペース・カウボーイ, which translates to 'Space Cowboy'.
