Osamu Tezuka(1928-89) is the godfather of Japanese graphic novels. Innovative and exciting online marketing to encourage word of mouth. Perfect for comic lovers and those wanting a fresh approach to the story of Buddha Furthermore, his approach is slightly irreverent in that it incorporates something that Western commentators often eschew, namely, humour. Rather than recommend resignation and impassivity, Tezuka's Buddha predicates enlightenment upon recognizing the interconnectedness of life, having compassion for the suffering, and ordering one's life sensibly. Tezuka's storytelling genius and consummate skill at visual expression blossom fully as he contextualizes the Buddha's ideas, with an emphasis on action, emotion, humour and conflict as Prince Siddhartha runs away from home, travels across India and questions Hindu practices such as ascetic self-mutilation and caste oppression. Originated in the 1970s, Buddha is Osamu Tezuka's unparalleled rendition of the life and times of Prince Siddhartha.
