＼✨ Featured Artist ② ✨／ Meet Ryoko Yamagishi, one of the three artists featured in this exhibition. Ryoko Yamagishi was born in 1947 in Hokkaido, and debuted in 1969 with Left and Right. She rose to prominence with Arabesque (1971–75), which distinguished itself from earlier ballet manga through its extraordinary rendering of movement and the human body. She caused a sensation in the manga world with Emperor of the Land of the Rising Sun (1980–84), which depicted the young Prince Shotoku from an original perspective and earned her the 1983 Kodansha Manga Award (shojo [girls’] category). Yamagishi has produced a diverse body of work, ranging from stories inspired by Eastern and Western myths and legends to fantasy, horror, and psychological thrillers. In 2000, she returned to ballet manga with Terpsichore (2000–10), and in 2007 she won the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize (Grand Prize). Through original drawings from her major works and related materials, the exhibition presents the richness and diversity of her creative work. 📅 Opening on October 28 (Wed.)!
