Funeral Merchant | Bullet Tarō | Yoshihiro Tatsumi | pg. 50 #mecha Fujimaru Of The Wind: TheFuneral Merchant published in the Bullet Tar series in 1962, a pivotal period in Tatsumis career. Tatsumi had already established himself as one of the main mangaka of the gekiga movement, yet his later ultra minimalist and psychologically oppressive style had not yet fully emerged.
