In this form, Kawamura's recontextualization of Otomo's manga is reminiscent of traditional Japanese emaki (picture scrolls), the narrative scrolls that some scholars see as manga's most ancient ancestors. Katsuhiro Otomo is best known as the creator of the three-thousand page epic AKIRA, among other influential manga.

Born on April 14, 1954 in Miyagi, Japan, Katsuhiro Otomo made his debut as a manga artist in 1973 with Jūsei and for over half a century to this day, he has created thousands of manga pages, illustrated essays, and illustrations.

To commemorate this milestone, a silver foil-coated collector’s box presents an exquisite reproduction of Otomo and Kawamura’s work, with the specifications overseen and approved by Otomo-sensei personally.

From the pictures and listing it seemed like the item was opened and used, but when I got it, it looked like it came straight out of the factory. If one is big enough of an Akira/Otomo fan, they can purchase two copies of this art book ( since the pages are double-sided ) and them assemble all of them to reproduce a sprawling wall of Akira art. This Akira Art of wall book set is a spectacular, larger than life collection of some of the most iconic images from Katsuhiro Otomo’s groundbreaking manga.

To commemorate this milestone, a silver foil-coated collector's box presents an exquisite reproduction of Otomo and Kawamura's work, with the specifications overseen and approved by Otomo-sensei personally. The fourth volume contains photographs by Daisuke Takamura, who documented this project that took place from May 2017 to August 2019. This would make for a most excellent gift any day for any manga fan, especially if one enjoys Akira.

In this form, Kawamura’s recontextualization of Otomo’s manga is reminiscent of traditional Japanese emaki (picture scrolls), the narrative scrolls that some scholars see as manga’s most ancient ancestors.
