Here are some images from the blog I just posted. These are digitized and available for educational purposes at library.osu.edu/dc/concern/g...
Just posted in go.osu.edu/manga about a prized Tezuka sketch in our collections. This rare piece will be featured in 2 pop-up exhibits planed this week for #AAS2025! Created ~1950, it has ubiquitous markers of the American Occupation, e.g., a Coca Cola and 'Off Limits' signs (in panel 4 & 7).

…And if the upcoming exhibit at Thompson wasn’t enough, we’re thrilled to host a couple of pop up exhibits of rare and historic East Asian comics and cartoon art at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum. Here are some previews, for #AAS2025 💥🌈😃 !
My fantabulous colleagues, prepping our soon-to-open exhibit @OSU LIBRARIES
Two more days to go! Two of my favorite pieces in this exhibit are the pop-up tea houses and the calligraphy book with ‘stowaway poems’ created ca. 1740 at the world UNESCO Heritage sites in Kaesong, North Korea. From the Song Family Papers in OSU’s Rare Books & Manuscripts Library 🌏🤓
And now I can’t help but share more, as the exhibit display boxes get loaded one by one every day. Here is a box in progress that will feature woodblock printing and paper engineering with our library’s fabulous exhibits coordinator Jeremy Stone
The exhibit cases are starting to get filled. So exciting after over a year of planning to see all the hard work come together in this moment 🤩💪
The exhibit gallery is being prepped. Excited for the opening day soon on March 8th!
Never been so excited to see a bunch of empty exhibit cases. Why? Coming soon to our main OSU Library atrium gallery is the exhibit, “Mobility, Collecting, and Diaspora: Preserving and Teaching East Asian History,” (I’m co-curating!) just in time for #AAS2025 taking place soon here in Columbus!
Just made a trip to Pitt to make a K-12 outreach presentation in East Asian Studies about manga sugoroku prints. Excellent times! Met great colleagues, had some great meals, and saw lots of cool things including the Carnegie Museum of Art and the National Cathedral of Learning.

They casually took me into the library at Ohio State where I was greeted with this display.
Yes, in fact there will be an official #AAS2025 excursion to this exhibit (with a curator’s tour) coupled with a behind-the-scenes tour of OSU Libraries’ Cartoon Museum. Stay tuned—news will come out soon on how to register!

This will be a great field trip for #AAS2025 attendees! 🤩
My colleague, Prof. Guoqing Li, and I are working with our awesome exhibits coordinator, Jeremy Stone, this week to curate an atrium exhibit that will go up in late February (in time for #AAS2025) on East Asian treasures at OSU. Proud and excited about the work we get to do!

Okay, I’m gonna give this blue sky platform another try. Looks increasingly necessary to plan the transition from meta and X
Today I procrastinated on all my other big deadlines by writing this manga blog about /Tokyo Puck/, one of first modern cartoon serials in Japan, and one of our unique holdings at The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum at The Ohio State University Libraries. library.osu.edu/site/manga/2...
For reference, my own version of an ArcGIS Story map (created in 2020) featuring these fascinating limited edition manga scrolls, held at The Ohio State University Libraries, can be found here: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/9e92...

Just stumbled onto this superb StoryMap featuring the Manga Picture Scrolls of the 53 Stations of the Tokaido, a set of watercolors created by the Tokyo Manga Association (1921): arcg.is/1Pz8fr0. I created an ArcGIS Storymap (tinyurl.com/3rsbs2up) of similar scrolls at OSU in 2020. Must bookmark!
