Where it came from
Cleopatra, published in 1970, stands as one of the most distinctive works by Japanese manga artist Hisashi Sakaguchi. Created during a period of significant experimentation within the manga industry, the work reimagines the historical life of the Egyptian queen through Sakaguchi's unique, stylized lens. It was produced amidst the vibrant and transformative atmosphere of post-war Japanese illustration, reflecting a departure from traditional narrative structures toward more expressive, avant-garde visual storytelling.
The design and artistic approach of this volume are characterized by Sakaguchi's signature use of fluid, dynamic linework and cinematic composition, which he honed throughout his career in both animation and print. Rather than a strictly pedagogical biography, the work focuses on capturing the essence and allure of Cleopatra through an idiosyncratic aesthetic that challenged contemporary expectations of the medium. Upon its release, it was noted for its departure from mainstream manga tropes, serving as a testament to the author’s background as a versatile visual storyteller who prioritized atmosphere and character depth.
