“Manga… you don’t read it, you feel it.” –Chiba Tetsuya ♥️
We have lost a true pioneering manga artist, Chiba Tetsuya, but he remains the undisputed master of manga in Japan.
Famous for evocative storytelling and character development, Chiba is also widely recognized as one of the most important contributors to the rise of sports manga.
“Chiba sensei was a giant and cared deeply for freedom of expression, no censorship, peace, and for all the underdogs of this world.” says Nicole Coolidge Rousmaniere, Deputy Director General, MOA Museum of Art, Mokichi Okada Art and Culture Foundation.
We are honored to have the chance to represent Chiba’s work—including the first and last pages of “Ashita no Joe: Fighting for Tomorrow” and pages from the manga diary he was currently drawing, "A Diary of a Quiet Life"—on view in “Art of Manga.”
We hope you’ll take the opportunity to visit to see what makes his work so unique and beloved.
