GENGA


I visited the Genga Exhibition by Otomo Katsuhiro. The man who wrote the famous "Akira" back in 1982-1990.

My favourite work of his is "Metropolis".

It was first time visiting the ota-ku central, Akihabara, where the exhibition was held.

Otomo's work had changed the potential of japanese anime culture.

He was the first japanese manga-writer who made a success overseas.

I was amazed by seeing his technique of drawing so much details expressing reality.

It was well worth visiting.
