Non Solo Kawaii

© My Unico, Brianne Drouhard - Official Tezuka 70th / Unico 40th Celebration

70 anni fa Ozamu Tezuka, padre dei manga e uno dei fumettisti più prolifici della storia, pubblicò il suo primo fumetto, Maachan no Nikkichō del 1946. Nucleus Gallery per festeggiare questo anniversario e il 40° compleanno di Unico gli ha dedicato una mostra, a cui hanno preso parte più di 30 artisti.

70 years ago Ozamu Tezuka, the father of manga and one of the most prolific cartoonist in history, published his first comic, Maachan no Nikkichō in 1946, Nucleus Gallery celebrates this anniversary and the 40th birthday of Unico and dedicates an exhibition to him, where more than 30 artists took part in.

Tra le opere presentate possiamo riconoscere alcuni dei capolavori del maestro, come Astro Boy, Kimba il Leone Bianco, La Principessa Zaffiro, Black Jack, La Fenice e Unico, pubblicato da Sanrio dal 1976 al 1979, la dolce storia di un piccolo unicorno e dei suoi amici con una morale ecologista.

Among the works presented, we can recognize some of the artist’s masterpieces, like Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion, Princess Knight, Black Jack, Phénix and Unico, published by Sanrio from 1976 to 1979, the sweet story of a little unicorn and his friends with a environmental philosophy.

“Sono convinto che i fumetti non debbano solo far ridere. Per questo nelle mie storie trovate lacrime, rabbia, odio, dolore e finali non sempre lieti.”

“I am convinced that comics should not only make people laugh. For this in my stories found tears, anger, hatred, pain and end not always happy.”

Osamu Tezuka
