???????????_??(MONONOFU)

Hiroshi Hirata, a great master of Japanese jidai gekiga, publishes for the first time a collection of his illustrations in Mononofu. This is a collection of his mature work featuring many items from the famous Satsuma Gishi Den and Kubidai-hikiukenin masterpieces. Gripping battle scenes are reproduced in all the exciting scope and detail of the originals. Great care has been taken to preserve the power and talent of the illustrations. Each and every item is suffused with the master's gifted penmanship and overwhelms the reader with its eerie genius. Also included is a special additional work, an English edition of "Two Warriors".
