Condition: Very Good
Size: 21.2 x 32.7 cm
Miki Ibara belongs to the generation of artists who developed their careers during Japan's post-war kashihon, or rental-manga, era. He became particularly associated with period drama, gekiga and horror, combining samurai stories with the darker atmosphere that characterised much of Japanese horror manga.
He was also a close friend of Shigeru Mizuki, the legendary creator of GeGeGe no Kitarō. Mizuki even created a manga artist character named Ibaramichi, modelled after Ibara.
While our new gallery will not be open before October, we've been unboxing and rediscovering items along the way. This auction brings together a carefully curated selection of manga and anime art, featuring gallery finds, almost forgotten pieces, and works rediscovered during the unpacking, now offered to collectors via Catawiki.
Explore all our items and combine purchases to save on shipping, or collect your winnings at our new location in Ghent (Belgium) — open by appointment only.
Seller's Story
Sultans of Manga is devoted to original art by Japanese mangaka, with a particular soft spot for the Shōwa era, that stretch of manga history that's basically the Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age of comics all rolled into one.
Our collection ranges from the giants of manga to the most obscure underground names, and yes, we're just as happy to track down something more recent when it's got the right spirit.
We don't chase trends. We chase the manga art that's rare, overlooked, or simply what we like, and we love the full spectrum of what manga can be!
Whether you're a lifelong manga collector or a curious newcomer just starting to look, feel free to reach out.
We're always happy to offer tailored suggestions or a bit of friendly advice.
