Tuotekuvaus
Manga s most beloved creator ventures into Japan s mythical past and
emerges with a menagerie unlike any other. Shigeru Mizuki is no
stranger to the supernatural and its portents. Kitaro and Tono
Monogatari reimagined the obscure folktales of his youth, bringing them
to life with whimsy.
Mizuki the cartoonist certainly left an
indelible mark on comics as world literature. Mizuki the fine artist, on
the other hand, rounds out the full scope of his fascination with the
otherworldly and fantastic, bringing these worlds to life in robust
colour. Yokai: The Art of Shigeru Mizuki showcases his expertise of not
only folklore, but celebrates him as a naturalist.
Elements of
Mizuki s lush compositions flora, fauna, and everything in between
showcase his mastery of form and love for nature. These popular
renderings of a disappearing, rural Japan are his contribution to the
preservation of a cultural heritage that would have otherwise been
forgotten. The grotesque realism central to his body of work is offset
by the ingenuity of his fancy for the macabre.
Pieces in this
deluxe, full-colour edition call to mind the playful pop-sensibility of
Maurice Sendak informed by the technical prowess of traditionalists like
Durer and Dore. And like any other Mizuki classic, each oeuvre is a
unique snapshot of spirit, human or otherwise, in constant transition.
Yokai: The Art of Shigeru Mizuki includes supplementary writing by
acclaimed Mizuki scholar and translator Zack Davisson.
