"Tokiwa-so" restoration facility opens. Osamu Tezuka and other manga artists brush their skills 12:34 on July 7th

A facility that restored Tokiwa-so, an apartment in Toshima-ku, Tokyo, where Osamu Tezuka and some of Japan's leading manga artists spent their young days, opened on the 7th.

"Tokiwaso" is a two-story wooden apartment built in 1952, with Osamu Tezuka, Fujio Akatsuka, Shotaro Ishinomori, and Fujio Fujiko's combination. Known for brushing his arms while living.

Toshima Ward, in collaboration with the local shopping street, was restored to its full scale as a base for transmitting manga culture, and was opened on the 7th as "Tokiwaso Manga Museum".

Before the opening, Mayor Takao of Toshima Ward greeted, "I'm grateful that the hot feelings of the local area have been realized. I want to spread the manga culture from the origin to the world." Was done

Then, at 10am, 30 people who had booked in advance entered the building and were taking pictures while looking at the 4 tatami mat room on the second floor where the cartoonist lived.

In addition, in the exhibition space on the first floor, I was looking carefully at the comic magazines that have recently been donated to the ward, which are almost unremaining now, and autographed colored papers of more than 100 cartoonists.

A man in his 30s, a cartoonist, said, "The sacred sites of my seniors were created in a very realistic way, and I was worried that the manga was born there. I want to do my best to draw cartoons all night." I was talking.

It means that the facility will need to be reserved in advance for the time being to prevent infection with the new coronavirus.
