Information
pencil, ink, ecoline and Zipatone on thin cardboard
36,5 x 48 cm
Original storyboard by the legendary Japanese Mangaka and animator Yoji Kuri. Undoubtedly one of the most famous and acclaimed Japanese independent animators both at home and abroad, Kuri founded the "Kuri Experimental Manga Laboratory" (Kuri Jikken Manga Kobo) in 1961 with the intention of creating animations for adults permeated by constant black humor and symbolism. This work can be traced back to the famous animated film Ai (Love). The short film, awarded at the Venice Film Festival in 1963, focuses on the theme of female sexual emancipation and the war of the sexes; the depiction of women, increasingly emancipated since the post-war period, is often enormous and grotesque compared to their male counterparts, thus rendering the unconscious fears of men, derived from the new social strength acquired by their partners. The woman who seeks, finds and subjugates a man is therefore represented as large, brusque and sadistic. At the same time, Kuri emphasizes the negativity of the male "antagonist", who is weak, onanistic and inclined to war, represented as a small being to be humiliated. On the back label of the production studio.
