Missing Tezuka Manga Found In America Date: 5/10/2006 |
Five missing works by manga legend Osamu Tezuka, creator of "Astro Boy," were discovered in a collection of Japanese publications gathered by a U.S. censorship unit after World War II. According to Tanikawa, the five pieces come in a form of cartoon strips with three to 12 frames. They include a six-frame strip titled "Tameshi-giri" (trial sword-cutting), in which a subordinate uses his wits to fend off his lord's violence. A four-frame strip titled "Tarikiremasen" (I can't take it) features a mannequin that gets embarrassed when someone peeks up her skirt. A 16-page short manga, called "Hans to Kin no Kaminoke" (Hans and golden hair), was also found in the collection. |
