Οικεία Umezu παρακαλώ!

Ο λατρεμένος Claytonian ανέβασε ένα video, που μεταξύ άλλων έχει ένα απόσπασμα για το σπίτι που φτιάχνει ο θεός Kazuo Umezu.(Θυμάστε που σας είχα δείξει μερικές τέλειες εντελώς, κουκλί σου λέω, φωτογραφίες του?) Περισσότερες πληροφορίες αλίευσα απο το Same hat, τις οποίες κάνω ανελέειτα copy/paste (ναι, είναι στα αγγλικά)

Shock at horror cartoonist's stripy plans

Tokyo - Kazuo Umezu, the father of a Japanese genre of gory comics, is also causing horror for his neighbours because of a plan to paint his new house in vivid red-and-white stripes.
The skinny cartoonist with curly hair is often seen wearing bold red-and-white stripes, a habit attributed to his fantasies of being a pirate.
"Red and white stripes are my trademark and I planned to paint them somewhere on the house," the 70-year-old told the private TBS network.
"But it was said to destroy the landscape," he said. "I was in high spirits but now I'm deeply troubled."
Umezu says he has not broken any law and argues that his house in the quiet backstreets of the trendy Kichijoji area would be "beautiful."
But some residents are not amused and have fought to block him.
"Please understand our mental suffering as we have to live with the view no matter if we like it or not. This is nothing but violence of colours," one resident said before television cameras.
"My heart is also daubed over in red and white," she said.
The two sides are seeking reconciliation through court arbitration.
Umezu already has a house painted yellow in another part in Tokyo and a red-white striped resort house in the central mountain town of Nagano.
He pioneered horror cartoons in the 1960s. He also ventured into the world of comics in the 1970s and scored a huge hit with a series featuring a kindergarten brat who does everything to upset adults.
A similar controversy erupted last year after Italy built a red 12-storey cultural institute in central Tokyo, with Tokyo's governor saying it jarred sombre Japanese sensitivities.
