The last time I wrote about Shiriagari Kotobuki there was a nice link from the Completely Futile blog (Thanks so much!!!). That kind of positive feedback is really wonderful!
In the latest November ’07 issue of Bijutsu Techo Kotobuki discusses the Choju Jinbutsu Giga, the 12th century scroll of frolicking animals that is often considered to be Japan’s first manga, with art historian Yamashita Yuji. They discuss the scroll from their respective points of view. The issue coincided with an exhibit of all four scrolls at the Suntory Museum.
73 titles now come up in a Worldcat.org search on Shiriagari Kotobuki — including some new ones that I should order for Ohio State’s collection!
