Gold Pollen And Other Stories (Hardcover)

* This volume collects a handful of Hayashi's most important manga from his reigning years during the late 60s and early 70s. Memorable examples include 'Red Dragonfly' (1968), 'Yamauba's Lullaby' (1968), and 'Gold Pollen' (1971). Published here in original full colour, these stories mix traditional Japanese aesthetics with pop Art sensibilities, and range in topic from the legacies of Japanese right-wing nationalism and Second World War, to the shadow of America over 1960s Japanese youth culture.
