Visually pleasing, narratively a bit scattered. Igort is an Italian comic artist who published extensively in Japan, and spent various periods of his life living there while working with the publisher Kodansha. This book is a collection of short comics, memories, movie and book reviews, and anecdotes related to his experience/obsession with Japan and it's history. I can relate to his engagement with Japanese culture, but I'm also vary of reading too much into this male, Western interpretation of the country. Also note that the majority of Igort's time in Japan was in the early 1990s.
