This issue, "Asahi Graph: Warhol's Impressions of Japan, November 22, 1974," is part of Asahi Graph, an early Japanese weekly graphic magazine first published by the Asahi Shimbun Company on January 25, 1923. It was a veteran magazine that continued to be published for approximately 77 years until its regular publication ended with the October 13, 2000, issue. Its defining feature is its "visual newspaper/visualized reporting," with a significant portion of its pages devoted to photographs and illustrations. Using both text and photographs, it has visually documented the turbulent changes in modern and contemporary Japan, including events, customs, culture, social conditions, war, postwar reconstruction, high economic growth, and the bubble economy. Its role as a recorder of art, journalism, and society has given many readers the sense of "seeing the action." This issue includes images taken by pop art master Andy Warhol during his visit to Japan for his solo exhibition, as well as "The Struggle of a Sumo Wrestler in a Small Room" by Akihiko Okada, which features sumo wrestlers.
