Manga Jam #43: Abandon the Old in Tokyo

Abandon the Old in Tokyo is an anthology of pioneering gekiga artist Yoshiharu Tatsumi's look at the seedy underbelly of 1960/1970s Japan. Tatsumi was the artist who first brought darker stories into the world of manga inspiring a whole generation of artists.

About the Location
This is a small discussion room that is part of a Japanese cultural association. Enter at the middle of the building on Clark St. Once inside turn left and the room should be the first door on your left (it looks a bit like a kitchen with a large table inside).

There are also alternative entrances by the parking lot in the back and off of Montrose.

Getting There
Free street parking is available and the space is accessible from the #22 clark bus, #78 Montrose Bus, #9 Ashland Bus and a 10-15 min walk from the brown and red lines.
