About this Exhibition
On display at the largest Black Jack exhibition in history are over 500 manuscripts, as well as copies of Weekly Shonen Champion from the work's serialization period, standalone volumes published in the 1970s, and hand-drawn manuscripts of over 200 episodes.
The numerous exhibits also include works influenced by various Showa period events that occurred around the time Black Jack was created, relevant materials from the time that shed light on Tezuka Osamu's passion and persistence, and video footage that unveils the secrets behind the birth of Black Jack.
This is an opportunity to thoroughly experience all aspects of Black Jack, the globally acclaimed masterpiece manga.
Tezuka Osamu was born in 1928 in Toyonaka, Osaka, and raised in Takarazuka, Hyogo.
He earned a medical degree after graduating from the department of medicine at Osaka University.
In 1946, at the age of 17, he made his debut with a four-panel manga series titled Mah-chan’s Diary.
His standalone book New Treasure Island became a huge hit the following year, and thereafter, he devoted himself to establishing the story manga genre in Japan.
His notable works include Mighty Atom, The Jungle Emperor, Princess Knight, Black Jack, Phoenix, and The Three-Eyed One.
Tezuka passed away in 1989.
