‘Genka’ illustrations by Tadanori Yokoo ::: Pink Tentacle In 1975, graphic artist Tadanori Yokoo produced hundreds of pen and ink drawings for Genka (”Illusory Flowers”), a historical novel by Harumi Setouchi that recounts the struggles of Tomiko Hino, the wife of shogun Yoshimasa Ashikaga (1435-1490). The fanciful illustrations, which do not appear to directly reflect the content of the story, were published along with the novel in a long series of installments in the Tokyo Shimbun newspaper.
