Description
The critically acclaimed comic Nejishiki is a cornerstone of Japan's 1960s counterculture, showcasing Yoshiharu Tsuge's highly respected body of work. This collection features some of the most iconic scenes from his oeuvre, including the title story, which follows an injured young man as he searches for emotional and physical release.
The stories in this volume follow a series of weary travelers who face menacing doppelgängers and uncover unsavory impulses even in banal activities like afternoon strolls. Tsuge's work pushes boundaries, crossing the threshold of conventional storytelling with unassuming protagonists venturing into eerie symbolism against a shadowy, dreamlike landscape.
Published fifty years after its debut, this third volume remains as shocking and vivid today as it did upon its initial release. The angst that pervades postwar Japanese society is palpable in Tsuge's work, threatening to devour his characters' pastoral sensibilities as they wander into surreal landscapes.
