Yoshiharu Tsuge , a legend in the world of manga. His eerie and elusive works have created a cult following in Japan and abroad. Among them, his best-known work, "Nejishiki," is still known as a golden classic that has not faded away.
This time, an apparel collection featuring "Nejishiki" was created. The project was created by "NEMES," a company created by ZEN-LA-ROCK, a fan of Yoshiharu Tsuge, and "POWER HOUSE," which was in charge of art direction for the 23-volume "The Complete Works of Yoshiharu Tsuge".
The lineup includes T-shirts, parkas, knitwear, pajamas, and even skate decks. Each item features a famous scene or motif from the film. The clean design that shows respect for "Screw Shiki" without unnecessary embellishment is sure to be irresistible to fans.
Of course, even if you are not familiar with "Screw Shiki" , if it strikes you as a fashion item, please do not hesitate to buy it. This item is a gateway to the works of Yoshiharu Tsuge. This collaboration is also a reflection of ZEN-LA-ROCK's desire.
Nejishiki" is one of Mr. Tsuge's best-known works. Although it is a short story of 23 pages, it has captivated many readers with its mysterious worldview that spreads across every panel. The name of this collection, "1968," refers to the year "Nejishiki" was published. Even now, 55 years after its publication, its world view has not faded away at all. We are proud to say that his works are very popular overseas as well, and we are confident that the items in this collection will please fans all over the world.
My own family runs a used bookstore in Nishi-Kawaguchi, Saitama, and my parents and I are very surprised that I could do something like this. If you have never read "Nejishiki," we hope that you will take this opportunity to experience Mr. Tsuge's worldview.
From November 17 (Fri.) to 28 (Tue.), a launch event will be held at "TOKYO CULTUART by BEAMS" on the 4th floor of BEAMS Japan in Shinjuku. The store seems to be filled with the world of "Screw Shiki," so fans must check it out! The book will also be available at the online stores of "Nemes" and "Powerhouse" from November 24 (Fri.).
