Where it came from
On the Hill of the Evening Light serves as a curated retrospective of the work of Masaaki Sato, a prominent figure in the gekiga movement that emerged in Japan during the 1960s and 1970s. Gekiga, meaning dramatic pictures, represented a departure from traditional children's manga, favoring grittier, more mature themes and cinematic storytelling styles. This collection reflects Sato's dedication to the craft during an era when artists were pushing the boundaries of what the medium could communicate to an adult audience.
The volume features a selection of stories personally chosen by the artist to showcase his aesthetic evolution and thematic preoccupations. Sato’s work is characterized by high-contrast ink work and a focus on the often harsh realities of Japanese society. By gathering these specific pieces, the publication provides a glimpse into the author's legacy within the avant-garde manga circles, emphasizing the stylistic techniques that defined his contribution to the gekiga canon.
