The Smithsonian celebrates the work of Osamu Tezuka (Part 5)

By Brian Mah

==================
When was your first trip to Japan?
==================
Helen McCarthy: We went to Japan in 1997 so that I could interview Hayao Miyazaki for my book about him. We had friends over there and had been promising ourselves a trip for ages, but it never worked out that we could both take time off work when we had enough money to travel. Then I was told that Mr. Miyazaki could see me on one day three weeks ahead, so the whole trip was arranged in a huge rush, but it was well worth it. About six hours after we touched down on Japanese spoil for the first time, I was sitting in his private office.
