Yoji Kuri is a well-known Japanese cartoonist, independent filmmaker, and pioneer of Japanese animation.
Opening the Kuri Experimental Manga Studio in 1958, he soon became an influential and leading figure in early Japanese animation.
In 1972, he published the Parasite series, consisting of 9 manga in square format, in which he expressed existential despair with cynical humor and a fierce sense of the absurd.
No.5 Nudity + cartoon is the only one to use both photography and drawing in a clever collage game.
A wonderful little book from an exceptional artist
