Zen and the art of playing baseball


Preview the paragraph 2.8 of the comic book Analysis - The composition of the pairs of tables :

Mitsuru Adachi has created with " H2 " [1] his work more representative, showing off a mature style in terms of graphics and being able to synthesize his favored subjects in a context which, thanks to the presence of a prominent sporting challenge on the baseball diamond, he sees an overlap of events and tight drumming.
The games are described in detail and draw the reader by making live adrenaline, tension and passion that is almost palpable and concrete. Characters and situations so as to allow the reader to live kidnapped and remain in a sense "feel there" make sure that a first reading made with the heat, "H2" is classified in the genre of sports cartoons.
In fact, although the baseball the backbone of the story, can not be overlooked that sport, as the vicissitudes of love and affection in the comic, it makes sense because it describes a stage in the road to maturity Hiro Kunimi and towards a vision of life that has its roots in Zen.

During " H2 " Mitsuru Adachi have a way to introduce explicitly the theme of Zen three pairs of tables where the sweet Hikari is struggling with the discipline of archery. In the second volume we see for the first time while practicing archery, serious and focused in his traditional dress. At the beginning of the cartoon characters attend the first top, then Hikari is taking its first steps in this discipline and has not yet been able to cure his training and understand that archery is not a sport but a spiritual practice in which meditation plays a central role.
" An essential element in the exercise of archery and the other arts that are practiced in Japan and probably also in other Far Eastern countries is the fact they do not pursue any practical purpose and did not even propose a purely aesthetic pleasure, but they represent a placement of conscience and should serve to bring it closer to ultimate reality. Thus, the archery is not practiced only to hit the target, the sword s'impugna to break down the opponent, the dancer does not dance to perform only certain rhythmic movements of the body, but primarily because consciousness resonates in harmony to ' unconscious. " [2]
" This is not a school of art skills, or a manual operation, is an experience of being . [3] The result

shoot Hikari convincing because it manages to hit the target but in reality you can see a flaw in implementation, namely the fragility of his meditation. She breaks down and makes a jump for joy when they see where the arrow is stuck that body, forgetting that archery is a ceremony made of typical gestures that are repeated with lightness and elegance, and demonstrating that its concentration was all directed at the target while the physical meditation that should lead to hit a target "spiritual" was absent.
" for archery in the traditional sense, which he estimated as art and honored as the heritage, the Japanese do not mean a sport, but for Strange as it may seem, a ritual. And so for 'art' of archery he does not mean a skill sport more or less fully achieved through a predominantly physical exercise but a skills acquired through spiritual exercises and aims to hit a target spiritual well then, that the 'archer, after all, takes aim, and perhaps come to understand himself . [4]

The lack of meditation is also emphasized by the particular composition of the two tables. In the first (p. 125) we see the preparation of the shot and focus on the target and we must turn the page to see the result. The fact that this result is required hidden until it turns the page indicates that there is tension in the soul of the girl, there is anxiety and the desire to find out where the arrow will go. Lack the confidence, transportation and abandonment is alive and all the attention paid to material results.

In the twelfth volume are the second pair of tables devoted to the subject of archery. The two boards are made in the same way as those analyzed just before the second volume. Again the preparation of the shot is on the first page while the result is kept secret and only revealed on the next page. Despite
Hikari has grown and she has gained his experience as archer this time not only the arrow does not even reach the outer circles of the target and it sticks in the wall but she betrays an anxiety that clashes with exaggerated art made of calm and concentration.

The failure of the shot is not due to unfamiliarity with bow and arrows, but tried a disturbance just before talking about first kisses (the first kiss between Hikari and Hideo at the time of the averages and the recent first kiss given by mistake by the Hiro Haruka Koga's manager) with his childhood friend Hiro. Mitsuru Adachi in this case uses the pair of tables to reveal how upset the girl. It suggests that maybe it's Hikari regretted having chosen instead of Hiro Hideo boyfriend but does not tell us explicitly, let us uncertain to interpret the two pages zen.

Hikari's behavior brings to mind a passage from the book " Zen and the art of flower arranging " of Gusty Herrigel:
" not enough to get to work as we will go to afternoon tea . Arrange flowers is not a hobby or a distraction. E 'need to prepare for meditation and concentration, must begin in the morning to make every act calmly and without haste, so that every action expresses inner balance and harmony. This attitude of mind has become so spontaneous and natural to permeate the very life. In the art of composition with flowers "action interior "must go hand in hand with the outer action. Only in this way this art can express the totality of Heaven, Man and Earth. The moment when you composite is not separate from the rest of the day, it goes from morning until evening. However, it is easy to follow the invisible path of flowers from sunrise to sunset! " [5]

Finally in the twenty-second volume of Hikari consistency pays off and on page 157-158 we can enjoy a fine shot. Already on page 157 we see that the arrow sticks, a sign that has failed the desire to see the result with apprehension and curiosity material of the shot. In the last vignette of page 157 the arrow and the target profile are framed, as if to indicate a gap of Hikari from the result of the shot material and an 'abstract' to the spiritual result.
turning the page is repeated, however, the surprise effect seen in the two previous cases and it turns out that the arrow has reached the middle along with others. The eagerness of the result is not proper to Hikari but his teacher praised in the sequence that does not seem to be anything ... As often happens Adachi zen can not be serious to the end ...

What about this set of pairs of tables? Besides the fact that they are worthy of note for the subject matter and how they are set, make it clear that he thought the Adachi zen when he wrote " H2. One can imagine that this philosophy, so well discussed and illustrated with a superficial summary but not in the three pairs of tables just analyzed, in an implicit return in the last volume, as we witness the final showdown between Hiro and Hideo.
E 'possible to compare the attitude of Hiro during his final run with the thoughts of three very different characters, Hideo Tachibana, and Yanagi Haruka Koga. Hideo
loses because he can not "empty" and charge the challenge of a meaning quite foreign and distant, that is, love for Hikari. To refute the ball thrown by Hideo Hiro means defeating his rival in love, beat in more than sentimental (and more) than in the sport. He wants to win the challenge because she hopes that Hikari is forever his.

Even a minor character, Yanagi, it is deleted when it has to stop. He has in mind the difficult relationship with his father and the dream (which he regarded as impossible) to turn pro. Finally
Haruka Koga, number one fan of Hiro Kunimi manager and his team fought to the end of the game turns her first thought Hikari's mother died early in the course of the story. The first thing he does when the game is turned to the bottom of the bench where, as usual at the beginning of each race, Hiro has hung a picture of her to feel close.
These three characters are so different approaches to the game of baseball, but more likely to deviate than the game itself. Each of them has its particular reasons and distracted away and could not live the game with a purity of spirit.

A Hiro rather not go to his head none of this. Not for insensitivity, because he was very shaken following the death of the woman who was very attached to him and that was a sort of second mother in childhood. Not even because he has abandoned his love for Hikari: Just think of what has remembered and looked in the stands during the game. Before the latest launch, however, fails to realize that Hideo is in love with, but did not deny it and delete it aside.

before the last launch Hiro realizes that baseball does not mean to contend Hikari, remember with sadness to think of his mother or professionalism. The latest launch is different: there is nothing to distract and to weigh it down. There are only the ball, a glove that will launch and land the Koshien, the legendary stage where you play the national finals of the Japanese baseball student. Hiro "wakes up" and throws the ball just because it's the most natural thing that can conceive. Suspended between heaven and the playing field, oblivious to what surrounds him, his arm moves forward simply to celebrate a ceremony of baseball that makes him feel free and satisfied.

Will our heroes?
There was a time when comics were also diluted in the space of months if not years. Readers not so young, they'll remember some of the Victorious, adventure, Mickey Mouse newspaper boxes and many other newspapers, as they call them now. Particularly in wartime, when the paper shortage had forced many publishers to dramatically reduce the pages of each number to six or even four, each side could be occupied by two serialized stories, two or three strips each. I remember Mickey Mouse newspaper that published a fictional story on the navigator Italian Sebastian Cabot, illustrated by Bernard Leporini, entitled "Gold Mountain". It lasted from No No 438 to 524, good for 86 points. Patient reader will find some, today, to follow, week by week, for over a year and a half, a story like that? Only the infinite textures of "A Place in the Sun" or "Dallas" are able to charm the audience up to this point. But that's another story.
There were also, and still cisono series of books dedicated to a single adventure, as Gim Toro, Tom Mix, Little Sheriff, Dragonball. In the last vignette we always find the fateful phrase. "Will our heroes to overcome the danger?" Or "Will Johnny win the heart Lara? You will know in the next issue. "
to tie all this and convince the reader of the register to purchase next.
Here we reach the topic of the week. A careful and faithful reader of comics, LUIGI SIVIERA Trent, a graduate in law, ravvedutosi, as he says, and became a comic book critic, has published a precise, meticulous and exhaustive study on the technique adopted by the major authors of cartoons stories to captivate the reader and force him to "turn the page" to know and follow the conclusion of the comics.
A little 'as they did years ago when, however, the reader was obliged to wait a long week, to know the conclusion of a particular episode. Today, everyone has a damn hurry, as I said, so the mechanism is used, even several times in the same register: The machine runs on the wet, sliding, skidding, and perhaps tips. Turn the page and, with a sigh of relief, we find our hero who is smoking a cigarette, in fact, since smoking is harmful, we find that sucking a mint.
This move to the next page, any narrative surprise, given overall look makes it useless to any previous page. The eye of the reader, in fact, all attempts to capture the essence of the story with a quick visual overview, scanning the golden zone, but the technique of the pairs of plates obviates any need for his attempt.
During the booklet "ANALYSIS OF THE COMIC STRIP - THE COMPOSITION OF PAIRS OF TABLES," Siviero analyzes the system used by several major authors of comics, by Leo Ortolani and his RAT-MAN, Morrison and McKean with the classic "Batman: ARKHAM ASYLUM "(I hope you know it, is a masterpiece not to be missed). There are also "George" MAN Izawa and Yumiko Igarashi, "Mazinger Z" by Go Nagai and GOSAKU air, "Dylan Dog" by Tiziano Sclavi, "that night ..." by BARRY WINDSOR-SMITH, and others. I do not want
also beyond the description of the contents, leaving readers to discover the taste of the careful analysis of the author directly. You can find the book in many locations, or you have more questions coming www.fumettidicarta.it site under the heading "House of Mystery" personally prepared by Luigi Siviero.

Metaphysics of Groucho



Preview the paragraph 2.3 of the comic book Analysis - The composition of the pairs of tables .

Metaphysics of Groucho
"Metaphysics? If half is physical, the other half is? " asks Groucho - the well-known assistant to Dylan Dog - without making the time to be giving birth to what became the most celebrated of his endless jokes and perhaps without realizing that the phrase conceals more than a grain of truth (1) .
Metaphysics, that is what comes after physics. Initially it was a name which is created by later philosophers from Aristotle to refer to the texts of Aristotle who, in the order in which they were handed down, were placed after the writings on physics (2) .
It is therefore a name from the double soul in which the later meaning refined living with frank and unabashedly servile origin, as if to predict possible questions and answers allegations.
Groucho, although mistaken etymology, captures this ambivalence in metaphysics from coining a definition shabby side and the other suggesting that there is anything further in front which appear in the act of questioning.
Groucho then irony is not only stands out, because half of his line suggests a metaphysical oxymoronic nature in which the life and the mix between antithetical goes beyond mere semantics, revealing the coexistence of contradictions that are not limited to birth name as opposed to the meaning given to the passage of time.

The most important thing to note about this joke is that Tiziano Sclavi (by Groucho) along the road of unorthodox "insane irony." This approach - a sort of reverence which leads to not tackle the issue head-on, offset by the entrance of little jokes and personal way - is a constant in his comic "Dylan Dog" and in fact you can find an example in "Ucronìa" (3) , an album released after almost twenty years after the one with the joke of Groucho on the physical half.

On page 79 of "Ucronìa" reads the dialogue between the inspector and Dylan Dog Bloch.
Bloch: "We have spread their identikit, but nothing, not even a warning. Vanished into thin air. "
Dylan Dog (thought bubble): "The nothing".
"The nothing exists or does not exist? What would you say Knock ...? Perhaps the reality is a non-zero ... a trifle ... "
Bloch:" Well, I leave you, old boy. "
"I'm going to get me fired by the superintendent."
Dylan Dog, "Hello, old and thanks for everything."
Bloch: "You're welcome. And 'the case to say: nothing. "

The trend of this series of words and thoughts is tortuous.
is not a real dialogue because Bloch talks while Dylan Dog mentally elaborates what the inspector says, in a sequence of clouds that, for the sudden changes of course, taste the dream. The word "nothing" is called by Bloch with no intention of calling into question the philosophy, but Dylan Dog takes the weight drastically bringing in another context - yes metaphysical - made of nothing, and nothing really. At the end of the sequence, however, Bloch regains anything of that (has become "nothing") due from the field of metaphysics to that of her concerns and disappointments of inspector away from retirement.
Quest'altalena's thoughts turned to nothing so much everyday (nothing if Bloch's pension will be fired) than in a nothingness that is the idea of \u200b\u200banything reminiscent of the tension in the bar found in the metaphysics of Groucho.
And in the midst of all this stands the reasoning of Dylan Dog - the "insane irony? - Who himself nonchalantly pass by anything non-zero up to the trifle.

Always "Ucronìa" is yet another example of this approach by Sclavi. Knock Professor explains that quantum physics in the core of the particle can exist simultaneously in two conditions, intact or disintegrated, until an observer does not examine it. According to an effective metaphor (4) physicist Erwin Schrödinger if you close a cat in a box you can not tell if he's alive or dead until you reopen the box to view it. In the comic
the box is replaced with the pair of tables (on the composition of the pairs of tables I wrote this article). In the table of the cat's in the box and Dylan Dog for nothing if not the quantum of abuse against a helpless animal. Until you turns the table (action that coincides with the opening of the box) you can not know whether the cat is alive or dead. What happens turning the page? It turns out that in case there are two cats, a live and atro dead!

As in previous cases an argument "institutional" is upset with a detour to a new territory, where reigned the absurd and the unexpected. It seems to me that there is by Sclavi is a sort of shyness that leads him to visit this type of argument with a veil of respect and the desire to surprise the reader, leading him away from plaster treatments and pedantic.

Rat-Man by Leo Ortolani


preview In paragraph 2.2 of the comic book Analysis - The composition of the pairs of tables :

"Rat-Man by Leo Ortolani

" It 'a rat with a monkey face? E 'with a monkey-faced rat? It 'a poor fool who can not help but slip two pathetic mouse ears and go around in tights? Probably all these things put together " (1) .
Rat-Man, the character by Leo Ortolani that has carved a prominent place in contemporary comics, is a poor figure in that appearance may seem like a close relative of Batman the pipistrellone created by Bob Kane : it is rich and Archibald Butler takes care of him, he lives in an isolated villa on the outskirts of the city's name, the trust Topin the Wonder Mouse makes him the shoulder and then took his vocation as a caped crusader when a rodent's suddenly appeared in front (but Batman was a scary bat while the Rat-Man has received from the postman a copy of the weekly of the Rat ...) (2) .
There is one detail that betrays the character of Ortolani and questions the blood ties with the Dark Knight: the hyphen between " Rat" and "Man . The name "Batman " while it is devoid of this is the Marvell "Spider-Man . And Rat-Man is indeed a character in the mold Marvell, as to make it clear in an interview the same Ortolani " Actually I always thought of more Spider-Man because - I admit - Batman, I never even read a story. Among other things, the first appearance of Rat-Man of 1989 simultaneously with the first film Bat Man, that of Tim Burton, I, however, I have only seen on video and then " (3) .
DNA Marvell of Rat-Man is mapped in an article by Maurizio Clausi :
" And when we say that the reference is Ortolani Marvel sixties we are not referring to the origin of comics parody but rather the use of styles and languages \u200b\u200bwe now call Marvel Style.
" Orton takes great maturity with the characteristic elements of that style, bowing to its demands or detached narrative, all with a brilliant internal consistency " (4) .
E 'Marvelli sense of inadequacy which is aware Rat-Man.
E 'prisoner of his face like a monkey Strapazzata What is the shape of the rock. E 'and more overloaded with superproblemi as Spider-Man (other than the millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne ...) and its superproblema is that nothing fails. In addition to these aspects typically
marvelliani the author draws on forms of language that belong to the American comics outright but must be traced solely to the way of doing comics of the House of Ideas by love and preference Ortolani for Marvel . For example, the opening splash page has for years been a hallmark of both the Marvel comic as those DC but the first that the author has known, understood and assimilated. "In a comic Rat-Man table that contains the title is constructed as the equivalent of a comic book superhero. The image is a full-page and summarizes the main reasons of history, the title is clearly visible with spectacular graphics, captions (so many, because the speech enhanced by breaks, multiplies the tension and suspense) offer an epic tone to the story » (5) .
In addition, the graphical style and Kirby. Ortolani capture the power of Jack Kirby's drawings , metabolizes and uses the naturally into a comic book that has humor in one of his main reasons to exist. If the author is able to achieve in a convincing way through this strange fusion is a long-standing love for the American author (6) that in the early '90s and before the great success of Rat-Man, was expressed even with the construction of four numbers of the apocryphal " Fantastic Four" for the magazine "Made in USA " (7) .
The composition of the pairs of plates Parent Rat-Man with American comics. In his misadventures can identify the real surprise effects achieved with the combination of the two tables. It 's the case of "The threat green " (8) , one of the episodes because most beloved by readers starring the lovely Thea. In the ninth table Rat-Man lunch with Thea's father when all of a sudden (the last vignette) the two are recalled by a scream, turning the page, we discover a splash page in which Thea is crushed by the tentacles of a monstrosity.
that the purpose both emphasize the dramatic element (and hence the pair of tables with its surprise effect is to serve this purpose) is confirmed by the same Ortolani :
(discussing the boards eight nine) ' The natural inclination of this to the dramatic story and my obvious inability to do anything to avoid it, emerge in these scenes more fitting. In my opinion there are very few jokes, often "stacked" the story without the accompanying smoothly, as in a real comic story. In these two pages, the dinner scene is a clear example of what I mean. The bar of the "cover", the "old fool" and the "felt the wine" are little more than brush strokes of yellow on a framework blue tones. " And then (discussing the ten board that forms the pair): "Finally, the splash page revealing of rejection called" Primus "" (9) .

Ortolani but goes further and does not use tables to create pairs only surprise of the effects typical of comic book action-adventure. His Rat-Man is above all a comic character and each story contains a barrage of gags.
The composition of the pairs of panels is folded so that its requirement, as is the case in " Rat-Man against Spider! " (10)
Police surrounded a dilapidated building in which hides a" thug "who can not flush out. Fortunately, help arrives in the Rat-Man that in Tables 7 and 8 (11) an essay of his ability ...
Valker agent is skeptical: "I asked for reinforcements ... not really believe that idiot manages to capture the spider, right? " The answer
Captain Krik is piqued: " idiot, Valker, and Rat-Man! justice alive! disguised arm of the law! And I'm willing to bet that capture has taken place! "Krik
Obviously the captain took a crab. Turning the page to see Rat-Man trapped up to his underwear in the giant spider web ...

You can close the circle citing a Marvel comic in which the pair of tables is not destined for classic but surprise at bat, as in a number of "Fantastic Four " (12) of J. Michael Straczynski and Mike McKone .
The two authors, while focusing a lot on such topics as pure science fiction and the great questions of metaphysics, not forgiveness sight of the need to explore the everyday and the little weaknesses of the characters in the series. Here is that Sue has to fight against a social worker to get her serious about the children because it considers too dangerous life in the Baxter Building along with a family continually being targeted by crazy super-villains and alien invaders.
To quench this invasive intruder, Sue decides to hide the baby sitter of Valeria and Franklin Crystal of the Inhumans, living on the moon. The Invisible Woman is a good face and bad game and decides to take a girl on earth. At the interview shows a group of unsuspecting girls who think they are in a skyscraper to be taken by any family whatsoever.
do not know that you are in the lair of the wolf and the boy to talk to and that in the future accudirà one of them is the son of Sue and Reed Richards, the famous when they wear tight-fitting costume.
" Oh, hello, you have to be the little Franklin. Your mother was there talking about you.
" We talked about monsters? asks the child.
The girls are off-limits and give the application to the imagination of Franklin. They soon
stare and think again because - turning the page - appears before them a brute of orange stone that greets with a 'beautiful Hi, how are you? '...
