Tezuka: The Marvel of Manga
June 2–September 9, 2007
Osher Gallery
150,000 pages of manga. 70 anime TV & feature-length productions. Two explosive elements of Japanese pop culture. One visionary: Tezuka Osamu.
Regarded in Japan as “The God of Comics,” Tezuka Osamu is an icon in the world of manga (Japanese comics) and revered as an artistic master. This major exhibition—the first of its kind outside of Japan—features more than 200 original drawings, paintings, and more. See the art that started an international phenomenon and discover why manga is more than just your Sunday funny pages.
Organized by the National Gallery of Victoria, Australia in association with Tezuka Productions. Presentation at the Asian Art Museum is made possible by support from Wells Fargo, VIZ Media, United Airlines, Dr. Kathy Nicholson Hull, the Henri and Tomoye Takahashi Charitable Foundation, and the Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation.
