Miscellaneous diary of hobbies
Categories：Creators' Artworks
As an animator, the late Yasuo Otsuka continued to lead Japanese commercial animation since its inception, and energetically mentored the next generation. We have condensed valuable "posthumous manuscripts" from the animation director's masterpieces such as "Lupin the Third", illustrations of military vehicles, manuscripts for magazine serials and out-of-print books, to unpublished proposals. Seiji Kano, who I have known for many years, was in charge of editing and composing. The charming illustrations and light speaking style reveal the author's approach to life and work, who called himself a "hobbyist.'' A must-have book for all fans.
