A sketch of Japanese history / Tatsuya Egawa uses manga to tackle controversial themes
Asami Nagai / Daily Yomiuri Staff Writer
Yomiuri
"The nature of war is rooted in entertainment; it's a supreme spectacle," manga artist Tatsuya Egawa said. "People get obsessed with the news during wars."
In his studio in an upscale neighborhood of Tokyo, he went on: "During World War II, major Japanese newspapers expanded by spreading propaganda. People were engrossed in (Japan's early) advances."
Egawa is clearly frustrated by Japan's social system. He is bothered by an education system that emphasizes memorization, public attitudes of shying away from controversial issues, especially sex and war, and the way the modern Japanese language has conveniently embraced vague expressions to convey ideas. The prolific manga artist claims this anger inspires his craft. Egawa, already known for a versatile oeuvre ranging from children's fantasy to works that include pornographic undertones, lately has been committed to themes like war and classical Japanese language.
