The color catalog of The Best Cartoons of Nippon 2021, Japan

Received today the color catalog of the International Cartoon Festival in Saitama 2021, Japan. It was the 31st year of the festival in 2021. I participated in the event with two cartoons of mine, one on the theme KENKOU which means "Health" and the second one of FREE THEME. Works on both themes by 44 Japanese and 50 foreign artists are included in the catalog of the exhibition that took place at Plaza North in November 2021. 

Saitama City is the place where Rakuten Kitazawa - the father of modern cartoon in Japan - spent his later years. The Saitama Municipal Cartoon Art Musem in the home to Kitazawa in his later years hold the Saitama-City Rakuten-Kitazawa Manga Awards competition each year. In 2021 they held the 36th edition and the winning cartoons are included in this collection book of "The Best Cartoons of Nippon" which are also displayed on the museum website here.
The standard A4-sized (21x29.7 cm) catalog of "The Best Cartoons of Nippon 2021" has 108 pages, about 70 of them covering the color and the monochrome cartoons participated in the festival and selected for the catalog. The remaining pages are the lists of the Japanese and the Foreign artists with their personal histories in both English and Japanese. With the help of this perfectly designed book of art, it is possible to compare the style and wit of the native and overseas manga/cartoon artists and enjoy the great humour in their works.
From Turkey are six cartoonists whose cartoons published in the catalog; namely, Erdoğan Başol, Hüsnü Berkalp Üstün, Kamil Yavuz, Kemal Özyurt, Musa Gümüş, and Seyit Saatçi.
Thank you to the festival organizers and the staff of Plaza North who sent me this great collection of manga/cartoon art.

Humorists in Marostica 2022: 50th International Contest of Humoristic Graphics, Italy

UMORISTI A MAROSTICA 2022

50th INTERNATIONAL CONTEST OF HUMORISTIC GRAPHICS

"Memory is life" 

This year the Humor Graphics Competition has reached its 50th edition, an important number that makes us proud. 

We therefore decided to celebrate this anniversary with the theme: MEMORY. 

When you reach a goal it is inevitable to look back, aware of the road traveled, but only to move forward. 

Memory allows us to preserve and rediscover memories of past events as needed, which is why, since ancient times, it has been celebrated as one of the most extraordinary human abilities because it is the only one capable of making men and events immortal. 

Memory preserves both ideas and images, even the saddest and most tragic ones, and allows us to create a bridge between past, present and future. 

In a period like this, it is even more important to remember what happened in order to overcome the difficulties. 

Once again, culture becomes a pillar to cling to in order to start again and to return to hope.
