[ Google Scholar] All data were assessed for a normal distribution using the Shapiro-Wilk test ( p> 0.05), and the appropriate non-parametric tests were applied when one or more of the corresponding data sets failed to meet the criteria for normal distribution. Area size data were not normally distributed due to participant variance; therefore, a Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for pairwise comparison. The questionnaire data were not normally distributed; however, we performed a Two-Way repeated-measures ANOVA to analyse the questionnaire data, as there was no non-parametric substitute for this analysis. The results of the Mauchly's sphericity test were not significant ( p> 0.05) for the questionnaire data. Therefore, we did not use the Greenhouse-Geisser corrections.

Tajima shares a fascination with Asian cities beyond Tokyo with one of his idols, Mamoru Oshii, the director of Ghost in the Shell. He was slightly surprised, however, at the exact overlap when I shared a quote from Oshii published in Kodansha’s Young Magazine in 1995: “When I was in search of an image of the future, the first thing that came to my mind was an Asian city.” Oshii was referring to Hong Kong and how he modeled the future cyberpunk city in Ghost in the Shell after it.

For him, conversely, the land of fantasy was a concrete maze of skyscrapers reaching for the heavens like those shown in his favorite animated works, namely Akira and Ghost in the Shell. “That was a different world I could not experience,” Tajima explains. “And only when I was a bit older did I realize these urban spaces are real and exist elsewhere.”

Another world that Tajima frequently inhabits is the digital one, where we meet for the interview. He had graciously invited me to visit him in Nara, but he expected that I wouldn’t be able to go. The artwork he is currently working on measures 5 meters by 4 meters, a size Tajima considers small, wishing he could go bigger. “If you think about it, cities are much, much bigger than these panels, so I am actually making them small,” he points out. And if limitless connections are the bright side of technology, the dark side is human replacement and the very recent and controversial AI art bulldozing over artists and the very humanity of art.
