<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" > the person who rejected the 2 million yen prize of Osamu Tezuka</h1>
Shinno wife teki, manga artist Reiko Asano
In 2001, the 5th Tezuka Osamu Culture Awards Manga Award, organized by the Asahi Shimbun, awarded Reiko Okano's "Yin and Yang Division", the original manga of the same name by novelist Yumetsu, featuring Haruaki Abe, the great yin-yang master of the Heian period in Japan, 1,000 years ago, and the Yin-Yang Division was a kind of official who used the five elements for divination and sacrifice.
Reiko Okano's husband is the "god of manga" Osamu Tezuka's son Tezuka Makoto, this Tezuka Award nomination Okano Reiko, whether it is the theme of the manga work, and the special status of Reiko Okano, everyone thinks that "Yin and Yang Division" is the winner of the grand prize without suspense, the prize is 2 million yen (equivalent to 120,000 yuan), which is roughly equivalent to the salary of the working class for nearly 10 months.
However, at that time, the most voted for works at the 5th Tezuka Awards was not Reiko Okano's "Yin and Yang Division", but a manga artist named Kazuichi Hanawa.
When the Asahi Shimbun informed the manga artist of the good news, he ate the 51-year-old Hanawa and a closed-door soup, and Hanaru dropped two sentences, "I am a non-mainstream manga artist, I have always been conceited about this, and the mainstream award will make the old man uncomfortable." "I haven't been affected in any way by Osamu Tezuka."
Hanaru Kazuichi, who refused to accept the Tezuka Prize, made a blatant wave at the time, because Osamu Tezuka was a very influential anti-war faction in the cultural world, and people could not help but associate Hanaru with the right wing, in fact, Hanaru did not have this intention, he did not tell the truth completely to the Asahi Shimbun, and what caused him to rebel was only the mainstream manga of Osamu Tezuka's style.
In 1967, when the 20-year-old Hanawa kazuichi worked at the printing house in Ikebukuro and often submitted pen illustrations to manga magazines, but most of them were rejected, he came into contact with Yoshiharu Tsuki's surrealist manga works, and this year serialized Yoshiharu Tsuki's manga "Mr. Lee Family" in the manga magazine Monthly Manga.
"Mr. Lee's Family" is based on Mr. Lee, a Korean in Japan, who often cannot find a stable job because of his status as a Korean, but does not feel Mr. Lee's miserable situation and any dark negative energy in the comic, because Gargon Yoshiharu brings in the element of religion "letting go" and "staying away from obsession" in the comic, Mr. Lee has no stable home while raising a family of four (wife and two children).
Before seeing Yoshiharu Tsubaki's manga, Hanawa had been thinking that manga would not work if it were not drawn into a mainstream manga (story-type manga) like Osamu Tezuka, and whether there were any other types of manga? "Mr. Lee's Family" allowed him to broaden his horizons, strengthen his creative direction, combine his own growth experience, and eventually become a niche cartoonist of "Hunting Curiosity" surrealism.
What made the surrealist manga artist famous, however, was a nonfictional documentary manga, "In Prison," a work created in 2000 and nominated for the Tezuka Prize.
Considering himself a surrealist cartoonist, but winning the award for a realistic theme comic, which is inconsistent with his own philosophy, this is the real reason why Hanaru and Yi finally refused to accept the award.
Although Kazuichi Hanawa is a niche manga artist, she has some hardcore fans, and one of the girls later became manga artists named Miura Miki, and even louder than her original name is her pen name "Cherry", which is the author of Cherry Maruko, who portrayed the character of Kazuhiko Hanawa in her work in tribute to Kazuichi Hanawa.
In what state did Kazuichi Hanatake temporarily abandon his surrealist obsession and create the documentary comic "In Prison"? And listen to the story.

Because the manga details the eating, clothing, and even nuanced depictions of the mood changes of prisoners and correctional officers in Japanese prisons, in 2003, at the invitation of the Japanese Ministry of Justice, Hanawa and Ichi, along with another novelist with eight years of prison experience, Junji Anbe, participated in the reform of Japanese prisons.

After the single room, the flower wheel was transferred to a multi-person room, where tea and free conversation could be enjoyed during the day, the inmates chatted about wild marijuana in Hokkaido, and the experienced prisoners said that the redheads who were playing in the autumn were the most enjoyable, so everyone contacted, if they went out, let the old brother give everyone a taste, just like the plot in the TV series, and wrote down their contact information in the newspaper.
As a result, they were found by the prison guards and all locked up in small black houses.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="58" > about cartoonist Kazuichi</h1>
Hanaru Kazuichi can still maintain an optimistic attitude in prison, related to his tragic experience as a teenager, when he was 3 years old, his mother remarried, and his stepfather's discipline of Hanawa was very terrible, according to Hanaru's own recollection, when he became an adult, he once watched a movie from Auschwitz, "Oh ~ Isn't this my juvenile life?" "In short, maybe the stepfather who is not related by blood will think of his biological father when he sees the flower wheel, and he will be disgusted."
After the death of his mother, Hanawa kazuichi felt relieved and no longer had anything to do with the family, so he went to Kyo and began to find his own path and new life, and many of his illustrations will reflect certain elements of religious redemption, and it is precisely because he was influenced by the manga artist Tsuki Yoshiharu in his youth (around 1967) and had a deeper understanding of "letting go of obsession".
Sometimes, letting go of the yearning for money, the effort to work, and the attachment to a relationship require more courage to face than not being able to put it down, and there may be a new understanding.
