Just posted in go.osu.edu/manga about a prized Tezuka sketch in our collections. This rare piece will be featured in 2 pop-up exhibits planed this week for #AAS2025! Created ~1950, it has ubiquitous markers of the American Occupation, e.g., a Coca Cola and 'Off Limits' signs (in panel 4 & 7).

…And if the upcoming exhibit at Thompson wasn’t enough, we’re thrilled to host a couple of pop up exhibits of rare and historic East Asian comics and cartoon art at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum. Here are some previews, for #AAS2025 💥🌈😃 !

Never been so excited to see a bunch of empty exhibit cases. Why? Coming soon to our main OSU Library atrium gallery is the exhibit, “Mobility, Collecting, and Diaspora: Preserving and Teaching East Asian History,” (I’m co-curating!) just in time for #AAS2025 taking place soon here in Columbus!

Just made a trip to Pitt to make a K-12 outreach presentation in East Asian Studies about manga sugoroku prints. Excellent times! Met great colleagues, had some great meals, and saw lots of cool things including the Carnegie Museum of Art and the National Cathedral of Learning.

Yes, in fact there will be an official #AAS2025 excursion to this exhibit (with a curator’s tour) coupled with a behind-the-scenes tour of OSU Libraries’ Cartoon Museum. Stay tuned—news will come out soon on how to register!

My colleague, Prof. Guoqing Li, and I are working with our awesome exhibits coordinator, Jeremy Stone, this week to curate an atrium exhibit that will go up in late February (in time for #AAS2025) on East Asian treasures at OSU. Proud and excited about the work we get to do!

Okay, I’m gonna give this blue sky platform another try. Looks increasingly necessary to plan the transition from meta and X

Today I procrastinated on all my other big deadlines by writing this manga blog about /Tokyo Puck/, one of first modern cartoon serials in Japan, and one of our unique holdings at The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum at The Ohio State University Libraries. library.osu.edu/site/manga/2...

Just stumbled onto this superb StoryMap featuring the Manga Picture Scrolls of the 53 Stations of the Tokaido, a set of watercolors created by the Tokyo Manga Association (1921): arcg.is/1Pz8fr0. I created an ArcGIS Storymap (tinyurl.com/3rsbs2up) of similar scrolls at OSU in 2020. Must bookmark!
