If you want to dig a little deeper he ranges from comedic oddball in AGE OF ASSASSINS (in a double role of sorts!) to menacing oddball in THE FACE OF ANOTHER. He’s always distinct and compelling no matter what you pick out from his filmography.

Nakadai is all over your Criterion jidaigeki classics. He’s the star of RAN, HARAKIRI, SWORD OF DOOM (a personal fav), the antagonist in YOJIMBO and ZATOICHI GOES TO THE FIRE FESTIVAL (another personal fav), he’s amazing in the Yuki Onna segment of KWAIDAN.

One of the best to ever do it. An expert at being a wild-eyed, haunted weirdo.

Wild that I first encountered One Piece way back in the late 90s, and have been reading it consistently since the early 2000s ♥️

And of course we came away from the gift shop with quite a few items, which maybe I’ll post another time. In the meantime, here are some sad Narutos.

The walls are lined with sequences from the entire series. Here’s the first chapter of One Piece I ever saw.

Then there’s this bonus exhibit about how manga is printed, using One Piece as an example, accompanied by some videos of the printing factories. Really neat to see.

And the fine screentone / whiteout work in this piece is nuts. The way it fades up the trunk is seamless

I thought this was interesting. You can see the text in the margin is how I guess the kanji to furigana (phonetics written to the side) proportions typically are, but in the word bubble itself, they’ve increased the size of the furigana.

And now the main event (if you ask me) — Eiichiro Oda! I spent the most time in his room, so I have quite a few pics.

We spent our morning at the ART OF MANGA exhibit!
Here’s a thread / photo dump!
Taking pictures of individual pieces was discouraged, but I snapped a few handfuls of details that struck me. There’s so much more than what I photographed, I highly recommend seeing it for yourself!
