The world of works that pioneered an era of experimentation is now illuminated anew as something akin to "poems of youth" curated by Naoki Matayoshi, the foremost contemporary follower of Seiichi Hayashi. As a manga artist symbolizing Garo—which became the core of the seething counterculture vortex in the late 1960s—the author rose to become the darling of the age. Lyrical poetry and action drama, fusion of indigenous and pop art, the clash between cinematic/theatrical and poetic sentiments... Leading the era of transformation and carving new horizons for expression, this collection of works is curated by contemporary writer Naoki Matayoshi, the foremost follower of Hayashi, as he shines a new light on Hayashi's works. This includes Akai Enamel Kutsu in its first collection, as well as nine other stories. (Source: Chikuma Shobou, translated)
