Drawing the Sword: Samurai in Manga and Anime

Cartoon Art Museum exhibition: January 16 – May 2, 2010

NEW ANIME EXHIBIT CUTS INTO THE PAST AND REVEALS HIDDEN TREASURES

San Francisco, CA – The popular Japanese art forms of manga and anime cut into the past and assume their rightful place in the canon of fine art in a new exhibit at the Cartoon Art Museum. Drawing the Sword: Samurai in Manga and Anime (January 16 through May 2, 2010) explores the complex evolution of Japanese artistic traditions by demonstrating the ever-changing image of the iconic samurai.

Curated by Julian Bermudez, the exhibit juxtaposes 19th century woodblock prints with 21st animation production cels and drawings. Additionally, the exhibit includes animation production models, motion picture stills, original comic book drawings, American and Japanese comic books, and toys from private collections. Popular titles on display throughout the exhibit include fan favorites such as Afro Samurai, Bleach, Evangelion, Gundam, Rurouni Kenshin, Samurai Champloo, Samurai Jack, Lone Wolf and Cub, Usagi Yojimbo, and Wolverine.

And yeah, Lone Wolf and Cub just might be the best comic series I've ever read. This is an extremely limited edition Dark Horse put out to commemorate the release of the series.
