Mondo Mizuki, Mondo Yokai

From April 26th to August 30th, Casa Cavazzini

By Canicola, Vincenzo Filosa and MIZUKI PRO, Tokyo.

The first anthology in Italy of Shigeru Mizuki, one of the greatest masters of Japanese manga. One hundred original tables, many exhibited for the first time outside Japan, with reproductions, magazines, books, video documents and critical texts recreate the universe of the Japanese Master.

On the occasion of the exhibition, Canicola publishes Il mondo delle fessure rotonde: the first anthology in the West to present previously unpublished comic stories together with autobiographical writings and reflections on the language of Mizuki's manga, published between 1966 and 1980 in the famous magazine "Garo", a point of reference for the world of alternative manga and a training ground for many experimental authors. The book is a tool for learning about creatures and legends of ancient times, which Mizuki has translated into the depths of the great metropolises of modern Japan. Talking warts, ninja clones, charlatan alchemists and flying capes populate these stories still unpublished outside Japan that present the Italian public with a glimpse into the thought and art of this extraordinary author.

It can be visited from Tuesday to Sunday from 10.00 to 18.00 upon purchase of the museum entrance ticket
