Abstract

Experience the turbulent history through the brush of Yasuhiko Yoshikazu! Yasuhiko Yoshikazu started his career as a manga artist with "Arion" in 1979. With the 45th anniversary of his career as a manga artist approaching in 2024, a 240-page full-color visual guide will be released that collects famous scenes from Yasuhiko Yoshikazu's historical manga. "Arion" tackles the magnificent world of Greek mythology. Works of ancient history such as "Namji - Okuninushi - Kojiki Volume 1" search for the origins of the Japanese people in the legends of the gods, and works such as "Rainbow Trotsky" that deal with modern history up to the war.... We will delve deeper into the world of historical manga drawn by Yasuhiko Yoshikazu, along with original drawings and explanatory articles. When it comes to depicting history, Yasuhiko Yoshikazu says, "It's important to firmly imagine that real, flesh-and-blood human beings were living and breathing." Along with his realistic portrayals of people that seem to breathe, the book is packed with "historical chitchat" in which the author himself talks about the appeal of history! A special edition of a newly written manuscript full of Yasuhiko's historical perspective is also included. It is also scheduled to include special interviews with prominent figures from various fields, including manga and archaeology, making it a must-have historical guide for Yasuhiko fans and modern people alike.
