Inoue Takehiko: The LAST Manga Exhibition
We have an exhibition of manga artist, Inoue Takehiko.
He is a popular manga artist, known for feature-length manga, Real, Slam Dunk, and Vagabond.
In this exhibition, he draws manga wall to wall. 140 original drawings gather the threads of the extension of Vagabond’s story.
Kumamoto is the place of the hero of Vagabond, samurai Miyamoto Musashi's death.
We are pleased to have the circulation show of Inoue Takehiko: The LAST Manga Exhibition which had achieved popularity in Uenonomori Museum, Tokyo, last summer.
We hope you enjoy the world of Vagabond in the special place, Kumamoto!
