漫画家・永井豪から創作の姿勢を学ぶ。
Learning the Creative Approach from Manga Artist Go Nagai
石川県が震度7の大地震に見舞われ、多くの人々が被災した2024年1月。石川県輪島市にあった漫画家・永井豪の記念館もまた全焼してしまった。しかし奇跡的に同館所蔵の原画やフィギュアが焼失を免れ、別の場所に移管されている。このことを報道で知った〈マンガート ビームス〉のディレクター橘髙は、石川県出身の永井豪さんとのコラボレーションでチャリティー企画のTシャツを発案。売り上げを被災地の寄付に充てるという提案に永井さんの賛同も得て、永井豪キャラ大集合のTシャツの受注販売が決定しました! 今回は橘髙と永井さん率いる「ダイナミック企画」のオフィスを訪問し、自身の漫画家のルーツから、何度も甦る自作のキャラクター、そして創作にかける熱意などについて話を伺います。
In January 2024, Ishikawa Prefecture was struck by a magnitude 7 earthquake, causing extensive damage. The Go Nagai Wonderland Museum in Wajima City, Ishikawa, also burned down in the disaster. However, miraculously, some of the original artwork and a few figurines housed in the hall were saved and relocated. Upon hearing this news, MANGART BEAMS director Kittaka conceived the idea of a charity T-shirt project in collaboration with Go Nagai, a native of Ishikawa Prefecture. With Nagai’s support for the proposal to donate the proceeds to the disaster-stricken areas, they decided to launch a made-to-order T-shirt featuring a collection of Go Nagai's iconic characters. This time, we visit the office of Dynamic Planning, led by Nagai, along with Kittaka, to discuss the roots of his career as a manga artist, the revival of his characters over the years, and his enduring passion for creation.
