Farewell party for Shizuka Ijuin Those who had close friendships are saddened by the farewell. In recent years, his ``Adult Style'' series became a bestseller, but he passed away last November at the age of 73 after suffering from intrahepatic bile duct cancer.

A farewell party was held in Tokyo on the afternoon of the 18th, and celebrities from all walks of life, from literature to entertainment to sports, attended and laid flowers at the altar. Fifty photo panels of Mr. I Juin before his death, including the way he was tilted, were exhibited.
