“Inoue Takehiko Entrance Hall Project”
Synopsis
Takehiko Inoue, a manga artist who has produced many popular long-running manga such as “Vagabond,” “Slam Dunk” and “Real,” will draw a piece using brushes and black sumi ink specially for the public exhibition at the entrance of the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo. The theme of the piece will be “Vagabond,” a story currently running in the magazine Weekly Morning. Inoue will draw a gigantic piece which will exceed by a long way the three-meter high piece exhibited in “Inoue Takehiko: The Last Manga Exhibition,” the much-talked-about exhibition held in the Ueno Royal Museum last year that is still touring around Japan today.
