Japanese illustratorJiro Taniguchisaddly passed away today at the age of 69. For over 40 years Taniguchi has been a highly acclaimed Japanese manga artist.
Taniguchi’s work was subtle and yet dramatic; it stood in great contrast compared to the typical Japanese manga story about high school romance.
He was nomiated several times for the Eisner award between 2007 and 2010 and in 2011 he was knighted as a chevalier in France’s Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
