30th Anniversary of Manga Artist Career: Fumiyo Kōno Exhibition - Birds Fly, Rabbits Hop, Flowers Sway, Running and Falling, A Long Journey

漫画家生活30周年 こうの史代展 鳥がとび、ウサギもはねて、花ゆれて、走ってこけて、長い道のり

The largest-ever exhibition of manga artist Fumiyo Kōno will be held at the Sakura City Museum of Art.

While numerous original art exhibitions of her hit works "Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms" and "In This Corner of the World" have been held, this is the first large-scale retrospective covering her career from debut to the present. The exhibition features over 500 original manga drawings, a vast collection of illustration originals, picture book originals, storyboards and notes from her works, sketchbooks featured in her blog "Kōno's Days," and never-before-seen footage documenting her creative process, offering a comprehensive view of Fumiyo Kōno's artistic journey.
