In "Buddha," Osamu Tezuka immerses himself in the life and work of the founder of Buddhism, taking the reader on a journey to historical India. With both humor and social critique, the grand master of manga narrates the adventurous story of Prince Siddhartha Gautama, who broke away from his tradition around 2500 years ago and became the Enlightened One: capable of finding his way out of a life of suffering and guiding others to do the same. Osamu Tezuka, having grown up in a Buddhist culture in Japan, spent ten years working on "Buddha." Numerous awards, including the prestigious Eisner Award, and international editions attest to the success of his humanistic epic, which undoubtedly ranks among the great masterpieces of comic history.
