Katsuya Terada TEN – 10 Year Retrospective Exhibition

Posted By yonghow on February 7th, 2013

I just got wind of this and am completely thrilled – renowned Japanese illustrator and manga artist Katsuya Terada ( Monkey King, Cover Girls ) will be holding a 10 year retrospective exhibition at the Kyoto International Manga Museum, from March 16th to June 30th 2013. Some 300 pieces of art work will be on display.

This is awesome news. Any discerning fan of Japanese manga and illustration will know that Terada-san is one of most talented artists working in the industry – a chance to see 10 years of his collective work would be nothing short of mind-blowing; not unlike Otomo Katsuhiro’s Genga Exhibition.

If you’re planning on visiting Japan and the Kansai area around March to June, this is a must see. Here’s a rundown of some general information :

Period – March 16 – June 30, 2013
10 am – 6 pm (Admission to the museum until 5:30 pm)
*Closed days: Wednesdays (except 3/20 & 5/1), and 3/21(Thursday)

Venue – Kyoto International Manga Museum, 2nd Floor Galleries 1, 2&3

Fee – Free
* However, a General Admission ticket to the Museum (800yen) is required.

Exhibition contents

Colour illustrations and design graphics from the vast body of Terada’s work in illustrations; games, anime, and book cover artwork. A total of 300 works will be exhibited, including original artwork.

1.) Manga manuscripts, illustration artwork, character design artwork etc.
2.) A slide show of Terada’s work process.
3.) Related books.

Total exhibition items approximately 300 works

By an incredible stroke of luck I’m scheduled to be in Tokyo/Osaka around late March/early April so I definitely be dropping by the exhibition, and bringing home an art book or two.

*UPDATE 19th March 2013 – The catalogue/artbook for the exhibition is now available for pre-order from Amazon Japan. The book will be released on April 10th.
