Gorey in Japan


Edward Gorey is very popular in Japan. In 2018 and 2019, the Elegant Enigmas exhibition of original artwork and books traveled to ten different museum venues  and had more than 100,000 visitors. Many of Mr. Gorey's books have been translated into Japanese. Here is an enjoyable video with a very enthusiastic presenter introducing Gorey's works on his YouTube channel.

This presenter guy is a famous comedian and he sets up the online salon among teens and young adult to make huge money. It's like a bad joke that he is a passionate evangelist for Mr. Gorey.

Anyway, there will be a small exhibition of Mr. Gorey at the Vanilla Gallery in Tokyo from April 15th, the 20th anniversary of his death. I hope Tokyo will not be locked down.
