If you have a friend in Japan, you may be wondering how the authors could be so creative one year before the former Osaka Expo 1970.
They were born in Toyama Prefecture. 400km north-west of Tokyo. Takaoka City is a rural area where there are no sky craypers. It was impossible to see the latest scientific experiment, especially 55 years ago.
My hypothesis is Buddhism. Takaoka has Takaoka Daibutsu.
They saw this big buddha every day and felt they have something unknown in the world. Then they started drawing cartoons and put every single new technology into Doraemon.
Do you agree with me?
