Shin Taketori Monogatari 1000nen JoOu” began airing on 4/16/1981!
At the time, I remember collecting clippings from a daily one-page serialization in the Sankei Shimbun newspaper (I remember it was written in katakana at the time), but I think I gave up after about half a year. I think now that I could not use the spread that Matsumoto was known for because it was serialized on one page every day.
