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)
A collection of short stories by various mangaka.
Mushrooms enjoy immense popularity not only in cooking but also as collectibles—from sundries and stamps to photographs, literature, music, film, art, and apps. This book features a meticulously curated selection of mushroom manga from the vast library of Iizawa Koutarou, author of numerous mushroom-related works including Kinoko Bungaku Daizen and Magical Mushroom Tour. The result is the long-awaited “Kinoko Manga Meisakusen.” The cover design is by Yoshioka Hidenori (September Cowboy), who also designed Kinoko Bungaku Meisakusen and “Houshi Bungaku Meisakusen.” The book design embodies the mystery, toxicity, and mystique of mushrooms—neither plant nor animal, possessing both nourishment and poison. An essential volume for all mushroom lovers!!
