A travelogue sketchbook from Takehiko InoueBy Parka[[VIDEOID:mo1BDGT8OFYLAMJ]]I've had the Japanese edition of this book pepita ???? meets ???? that was published in 2011. I like the book but could not understand what was written. It's great that Viz Media released this English edition. There's some difference between the two edition. The English edition left out the behind-the-scenes DVD and some calendar postcards.Pepita is a sort of a travelogue sketchbook from Takehiko Inoue, the artist for the popular comic series Slam Dunk and Vagabond. Pepita is a very different piece of work from Inoue who is known for manga art.In 2011, he traveled to Barcelona in Spain to look for inspiration and meaning in Spanish Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi's architecture. Collected within are the sketches, photographs and notes that he made on the trip. It's written very candidly and you can read about the thoughts he had when looking and drawing the different places.He visited the mountains at Montserrat, places were Gaudi lived, and the many sites where the famous buildings are, such as Sagrada Familia, Casa MIla, Park Guell and many more. If you've never seen these places before, you might be filled with a sense of wonder after looking at the designs. The buildings are very organic and is very much influenced by nature. You can't even describe them as European looking because they are something else.Inspired by the mosaic tiles that Gaudi used occasionally, Takehiko Inoue uses that as a design element for his art in the book. He also has sketches drawn over photographs and portrait sketches of how Gaudi and his family and friends would look like.There's also plenty of interesting information about Gaudi in the book. The name of the book is actually the name of the woman Gaudi loved. Gaudi scholars were interviewed and provided many insights to the life and career of Gaudi. A list of Gaudi's structures is included.Recommended to fans of Inoue and those who like travel sketchbooks.(There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my profile for the link.)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Amazing artwork!!!By Zixuan XuDefinitely worth buying it if you are a fan for his art. I loved Takehiko's art since slam dunk because he has such precision on character descriptions. The book tells me how he thinks and how he works out his brilliant artworks through a journal of him to Barcelona. It's still worth buying it if you are not a fan, because it's just great art. His watercolor is amazing! It's not too pricy also!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. As a Fan of Inoue's Work, GREAT BUYBy Ernesto AlonsoI was astounded by the sketches in this book.Its a hardcover and thin as well, yet there's a lot of power behind it.If you like travel journals and Inoue's art, this is the book to get.I think the only thing that would have given the English edition 5 stars is if they translated the DVD documentary that came in the Japanese edition what further elaborated on the various subjects and topics that the book deals with.But nevertheless, its an entertaining and satisfying buy. Half travel memoir, half art book, all beauty.Antoni Gaudi was the world leader of Catalan modernist movement in architecture. Takehiko Inoue is one of the premier manga artists in the world. Inoue’s journey to Spain and to the world of Gaudi is half travel memoir, half art book, and all beauty. Takehiko Inoue (Vagabond, Slam Dunk, Real) is one of Japan’s leading manga artists, and he has long been obsessed with the architecture of Antoni Gaudi. Pepita is a travel memoir about Inoue’s travels to Catalan, the people he meets, and the stunning architecture he experiences. It’s also an art book of the highest quality, constructed and framed by a leading practitioner of Japanese comics. Reads R to L (Japanese Style). About the AuthorTakehiko Inoue is the creator of one of the most popular manga of all time, Slam Dunk, which has sold over 100 million copies worldwide. He followed that series up with two titles lauded by critics and fans alike— Vagabond, a fictional account of the life of Miyamoto Musashi, and Real, a manga about wheelchair basketball. Inoue is the recipient of numerous awards, including the prestigious Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize and the Media Arts Festival Award. In addition to his work on manga, Inoue has worked on television commercials, character designs for video games, and is the founder of a scholarship to foster Japanese basketball talent.

The most logical idea Iquick to join in the venture. It provided was to band together Sweet Briar, Lynchburg cataloging information about books and other and Randolph-Macon Woman’s Colleges into materials and printed out catalog cards for a consortium and to seek funding for that the library’s massive card catalogs (loved and combined effort.

  • Manga and Libraries in Japan by Yasuyo INOUYE(Dokkyo University)
    Manga and Libraries in Japan by Yasuyo INOUYE (Dokkyo University) Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Manga publishing in Japan 3. Dispute over Manga 4. Manga at libraries 5. Manga at school libraries 6. Conclusion 1. Introduction There has been a long history of Manga (Comics, or graphic novels) publishing in Japan since the late 19th century. Some scholars have pointed out that ‘Chouju Giga’ drawn by Toba-Sojo around 11 century is one of the oldest comic illustrations. Now, people outside of Japan, especially the younger generation are fascinated by translated Japanese Manga and several related things. This article reports about the Manga publishing situation, historical disputes over Manga, and how Manga has been treated at libraries in Japan. 2. Manga publishing in Japan The expression Manga comes from Hokusai- manga. Hokusai KATSUSHIKA (1760-1849) drew humorous and critical cartoons, and moved on later to stories based on 4-frame-cartoons - these were called Manga. They are different to bande dessinée. Manga which have been translated into English are mainly long story Manga, so in US they are －pg. 1－ known as Manga ‘graphic novels’, but Manga includes not only fiction but also nonfiction like history, biographies and other reference materials. 4-frame-cartoons developed into Kamishibai which is a series of story cartoons on more than ten pieces of cardboard. Later those stories started to be printed in newspapers and magazines for children and young people. Japanese Manga is still printed in magazines today, and also published in book format. Each magazine has a target readership, such as boys, girls, young men, young women, adults, and others.

  • La Mujer En La Familia Japonesa La Vertiente Humor~Stica De La Rutina
    LA MUJER EN LA FAMILIA JAPONESA LA VERTIENTE HUMOR~STICADE LA RUTINA FAMILIAR , A TRAVÉS DEL MANGA Aki ko Yamada Grupo Kaika 1. Introducción Entre las costumbres populares de Japón encontramos la lectura de manga, subgénero del cómic que hace especial referencia a las obras producidas en Japón. La palabra manga, de origen japonés, equivaldría al término castellano cómic. Son historietas narradas en tiras de dibujos con texto y pertenecen, por tanto, a la gran familia de las historietas. La lengua japo- nesa también dispone del término cómic como préstamo del inglés. Por tanto, las dos voces, manga y cómic, son sinónimos en japonés. En cambio, la lengua española hace una clara dis- tinción entre estos términos: el manga hace referencia a las obras realizadas por autores japo- neses y el cómic al resto de obras. En Japón se lee mucho este tipo de cómic, desde la infancia hasta la edad adulta, ya que, a diferencia de lo que ocurre en Europa, no se abandona la lectura a menudo que uno crece. Para ellos representa un tipo de publicación muy cercana y familiar. No es una publicación diri- gida a un sexo o edad en concreto, pues lo leen hombres, muieres, mayores y niños. El manga ocupa un lugar importante dentro de la cultura iaponesa, de ahí que se haya ramificado en mul- titud de subgéneros. Su popularidad se hace evidente al observar las increíbles cifras que alcan- zan las ventas. Según las estadísticas del Instituto de Ciencia y Publicación, en 1999 se vendie- ron cerca de 20,I billones de eiemplares, es decir, el 38,6% de las publicaciones nacionales.

  • Manga World: Globalization Theory Revisited Peter J. Rimmer
    人文 地 理 第56巻 第6号 (2004) Manga World: Globalization Theory Revisited Peter J. Rimmer I Introduction Benjamin R. Barber's study1) entitled Jihad vs. McWorld offers a popular interpretation of the global political economy that resonates with contemporary world events. In this dialectic Japan is set firmly in McWorld and subject to the full force of universalizing and homogenizing processes emanating from Western-centered globalization rooted in Euro-America. There have been pockets of localized resistance to the globalization juggernaut in Japan that perhaps hint at the tribal overtones of jihad. However, the Japanese have been unable to resist the siren call of mass consumption epitomized by McDonald's/Coca-Cola, and mass infotainment typified by Hollywood movies and 'Western' music. Barber's interpretation of the global political economy glissades over the 'recentering', or is it 'decentering', of globalization as Japan is fast becoming a major node of global cultural production in its own right (Figure1). A host of Japanese cultural products have been created for domestic consumption ranging from comics [manga] and their offshoot animation [anime], through film and music, to television (localization). By crossing borders and becoming transnational phenomena these Japanese cultural consumer products are now in the process of being popularized in a way that underlines globalization is not merely a Western preserve but incorporates Japan (lo-globalization). As Japan has become part of this decentered globalization, it is, in turn, exporting cultural products to Asia (glocalization). This process echoes Japan's past economic embrace of Asia and the pioneering efforts of its major companies such as Honda and Toyota adapting their 2) cars and Sony its electronic goods to suit local markets.
