Description: Michael Walters is a Ph.D. student at the University of Pittsburgh. He specializes in the history of modern Japan. Walters discusses Tezuka Osamu's manga series, Buddha. He argues that in this series, read widely among both Buddhist and secular audiences, Tezuka imagines the Buddha Shakyamuni as a humanist, rather than a miracle-worker, in order to provide readers, especially young readers, with a model whose conduct they can imitate.
