The work of designer and illustrator Kosuke Kawamura is a fixture in Tokyo's galleries and street fashion scene.In this form, Kawamura’s recontextualization of Otomo’s manga is reminiscent of traditional Japanese emaki (picture scrolls), the narrative scrolls that some scholars see as manga’s most ancient ancestors.
