"Integrating traditional imagery and subject matter with pop art, Teraoka casts contemporary issues—from AIDS to computers, environmental degradation, and drive-by shootings—in historical guise. Humor and satire combine with a vibrant iconography drawn from Japanese and Western sources—catfish, trickster, fox, ghost, snake, ninja, samurai, geisha, Adam and Eve, punk rockers, and television. Teraoka's work moves from the indulgent pleasures of ukiyo, or the "floating world" of ancient theater and pleasure houses, to a chastened consciousness of death and evil with a majestic virtuosity unique in contemporary art."

"Together at Tobans is a charming collection of nostalgic stories told by the "kids" who grew up during the 50s in the melting pot of Winnipeg's North End. Bud Ulrich and his companions delight with their irreverent tales of lives rooted in "muchka ball", garden raids, Boss's Pool Hall, Kelekis Restaurant, Florence Nightingale School, and skating for hours in the frosty outdoor rink at Tobans Community Club on Selkirk Avenue. Pranksters then and for years afterwards, the memories of Bud's "kids" speak of an innocent time, one that formed the bedrock for the many fulfilling and remarkable lices that followed, long after the rink had disappeared. Nostalgic, witty, and poignant, Together at Tobans is a wonderful read."
