Yokoyama Yuichi: "Do it" "What?" carried out as one of the projects that developed outside the museum during the museum's closure. Yuichi Yokoyama (1967- ) is highly acclaimed for his unique style of manga expression, known as "neo manga," which makes extensive use of onomatopoeia and mimetic words. For this project, Yokoyama drew 10 new works on the themes of Hijiyama's history, museum buildings, and food products related to the cooperating companies. In the "Hijiyama Park" section, which started first, Yokoyama placed the works on signs announcing projects scattered throughout Hijiyama Park and on temporary fences at construction sites. In the "Machinaka section," which followed, works were displayed on banners, restaurant shutters, and elevator towers (glass), which were not originally intended as places to display works, and in the "Truck section," works were shown on the side panels of truck bodies dedicated to food transportation.
The Media Library exhibits original drawings of the cartoons featured in the above projects. Also featured are "Burning Sound" (888 Books, 2020) by Yokoyama and other books, in which the manga "Appearance," the source of the enigmatic project titles "Do it" "What?" We hope you will pick up a copy and read it.
