#413 | Thoughts on the Sakura Tamakichi Exhibition 'NOW AND THEN' | Solo Radio at Home
In this episode, the host talks about their visit to the original art exhibition of manga artist Sakura Tamakichi, sharing the raw energy and the allure of the works felt at the venue. As an exhibition commemorating the 40th anniversary of their debut, it is a must-see for long-time fans.
I was moved by the artist's brushwork seen through the original drawings.
Held to celebrate the release of 'Hibi Ware Ningen 4' and the 40th anniversary of the artist's debut, the exhibition 'NOW AND THEN' reminded me that the power of original art is truly exceptional. While I usually read these works in graphic novel format, there is a unique atmosphere that can only be experienced at the venue—from the brushstrokes drawn directly onto paper to the fine traces of corrections that are hidden in print. You can really feel the love poured into this special exhibition.
Displays that bring back nostalgic memories.
The host looks back on memories of works they used to read, such as 'Shiawase no Katachi'. Although these manga were created using computers and digital gadgets back in the day, looking at them again, you can feel the analog warmth of the brushwork. The venue features something that will surely delight fans, and I found myself completely drawn in.
I made an unexpected discovery about the exhibition venue's location.
This event is being held in Honjo-azumabashi. Located right next to the Tokyo Skytree, just walking around the area is a treat. The venue is a cozy gallery, which allows you to take your time and fully appreciate how the walls are covered in original art. I talk in more detail about the exhibition period and how to reserve tickets, so if you want to experience the atmosphere of the venue for yourself, please listen to the full episode.
