The Museum’s Origins and Tezuka’s Takarazuka Legacy

The Osamu Tezuka Memorial Museum was created in 1994 by Takarazuka City to celebrate the life of one of its famous people, Osamu Tezuka. The museum was built to show the ideas of humanism, nature and technology that were important in Tezukas work. Tezuka lived in Takarazuka for twenty years starting when he was five. The Takarazuka Revue and the natural places around the city had an effect on the way he made his art. The museum building is a design that shows Tezukas imagination. It has stained glass ceilings with his characters. There is a floor that has footprints of his characters. There are display cases that look like the life-sustaining pods from Phoenix. Inside the main exhibition has hundreds of manga drawings, personal items, early sketches and art that shows the long career of Tezuka. He made, over 700 manga titles and thousands of scenes.
