Description
Manga may seem entirely contemporary, but it draws on centuries-old traditions in Japanese culture. This book spans the history of manga in all its splendour and diversity: from Hokusai’s seminal Manga in 1814 to the onset of the gekiga in the 1950s; from the landmark Astro Boy of Tezuka Ozamu to Lady Oscar, Riyoko Ikedan’s shôjo manga aimed at young girls; from samurai sagas to the latest creations from Jirô Taniguchi. Both a rich documentary account and a visual delight with over 400 illustrations, many never before seen outside of Japan.
