Description
[Machine Translation] On the occasion of his 77th birthday, the author decided to "write his own history. However, he is the most playful artist of his generation. Like his familiar portraits, his personal history is spiced up and full of humor. What inspired you to start drawing? Why did he give up his job as an award-winning graphic designer to start his own business? How did he meet his wife, the "goddess of fortune" for the Yamato family? How was the Yamato style of illustration born? What is the secret of the long-run success of "Black Angle" and "Portrait Painting School"? And so on... The story of seventy-seven years of his life, filled with laughter and tears, is freely written in his unique one-person narrative style. The story often veers off to the side in the style of the "Kogon Nenbutsu" (a comic storyteller), which is also in the Yamafuji style. The author vividly depicts the postwar Showa period, including the state of the world at the time, developments in the design and advertising industries, and memories of the people he met. This is a delightful and poignant book that reveals the author's fascinating true face for the first time.
