1st Printing. Written by Osamu Dazai, and Junji Ito. Art and cover by Junji Ito. "Mine has been a life of much shame. I cant even guess myself what it must be to live the life of a human being."

Osamu Dazais immortal—and supposedly autobiographical—work of Japanese literature, is perfectly adapted here into a manga by Junji Ito.

1st printing. By Brigitte Koyama-Richard. In recent years, Manga has seen phenomenal success, not only in Japan, where it dominates the publishing industry, but also in the West. As swift and sudden as the popularity of this graphic art form may seem, Manga has, in fact, deep roots in Japanese culture, drawing on centuries-old artistic traditions. Today there is little doubt as to the meaning of the term Manga, but few in the West understand the long artistic history that gave birth to this phenomenon and the social factors that continue to shape it today. One Thousand Years of Manga is both an informative account of the genesis of the form and a visual delight. Hardcover, 9-in. x 11-in., 248 pages, full color. Cover price $19.98.
