Blank Canvas: My So-Called Artist's Journey
かくかくしかじか
Kakukaku Shikajika
Akiko Higashimura wrote this memoir about the teacher who shaped her, and she is hard on her younger self. In her school days in Miyazaki she dreams of drawing shoujo manga and assumes talent alone will carry her. The cheap class a friend talks her into, an hour from town, is run by Kenzou Hidaka. His first verdict on her drawings is brutal. In his room a drawing is not done until he says so, and talking earns a smack from his bamboo sword. She sticks with it because the art school exams are close. The story follows their bond into her adult life. It is funny, frank and full of regret. Readers who love Princess Jellyfish or stories about mentors and the cost of making art should pick it up.
