Four hours later, he had painted a 17-metre curtain for the city&#8217;s new Shintomi Theatre. The curtain, lined with psychedelic demons and monsters, would later go on to to play a significant role in inspiring the manga movement in Japan, now one of the most popular art forms in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The curtain is on display\u00a0in a new exhibition at London&#8217;s British Museum, called The Citi exhibition Manga, which\u00a0opens its doors to the public on May 23.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The original translation for manga is actually \u201cpictures run riot\u201d, associated with the 19th century Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, whose drawings\u00a0of people, animals and nature were published as \u201cHokusai manga\u201d. Since then, the art form has evolved into immersive graphic storytelling and has become a global phenomenon, with the industry turning over \u00a33 billion (Dh14 billion) in 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Originally only popular in Japan, manga has since featured in comics, newspapers, television, gaming, ceramics and even in the Japanese Foreign Office. The exhibition has examples of manga showcased on all of those platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The exhibition includes 162 works by many leading manga artists, including Osamu Tezuka\u00a0(<em>Astro Boy<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Princess Knight<\/em>), Toriyama Akira (<em>Dragon Ball<\/em>) and\u00a0Fumiyo Kono (<em>Gigatown<\/em>), among others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Western favourites, such as films\u00a0<em>Spirited Away<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>The Wind Rises<\/em>\u00a0by Japanese animator Studio Ghibli, also feature in the exhibition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The exhibition is divided into six parts, the first going into detail about understanding manga through reading, drawing and producing it. Other aspects of the exhibition focus on the history of manga, different styles of storytelling, manga in society and expanding the genre\u2019s boundaries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">According to exhibition curator Nicole Coolidge Rousanmiere, the art form \u201chas always been edgy\u201d and is often used to \u201ctell stories in visceral ways\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cmanga is a type of storytelling mostly for those whose stories haven\u2019t been told,\u201d she says, speaking at a preview\u00a0of the event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Often stories can be political, controversial and relate to emotional struggle. Themes explored in the exhibition works include sexuality, the Rugby World Cup, the Hiroshima bombings and the 2011 T\u014dhoku earthquake and tsunami.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Other works in the exhibition focus on gender identity. One example is\u00a0<em>Prince Jellyfish<\/em>\u00a0(Kuragehime),\u00a0a manga series primarily for women, written and illustrated by female artist Akiko Higashimura. The series explores gender and identity through a fictional apartment in Tokyo where only female tenants are allowed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Higashimura\u00a0is part of a group of female manga artists that pioneered the Shojo manga movement in the 1970s \u2013 which is\u00a0aimed at a female teenage audience. In Japanese\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/%E5%B0%91%E5%A5%B3\">\u5c11\u5973<\/a>\u00a0(sh\u014djo) means &#8220;young woman&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">But today,\u00a0a major impact on\u00a0manga and all of its sub genres, is digitalisation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Although manga was originally hand-drawn, now approximately 50 per cent\u00a0of it is drawn digitally on tablets, saysRousanmiere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Another change in the manga world\u00a0is that traditional stores that sell the art are closing down. At the centre of the exhibition, there is a rendering of the oldest manga shop in Tokyo, which closed in March 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cMany people have been changing their style from analogue to digital and they\u2019re now publishing very quickly. There are more independent comics \u2013 Comiket (the not-for-profit manga convention in Tokyo) is getting bigger \u2013 so many things are changing,\u201d Gengoroh Tagame, a manga artist attending the exhibition, says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Tagame hopes the exhibition will lead to more people understanding the art form internationally. The event looks to immerse its visitors through art work, video and audio interviews with manga artists and editors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cIn manga, the art shows the action before something happens and the aftermath, but it often doesn\u2019t show the point of contact or fall. It does this to engage the imagination,\u201d says Rousanmiere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cIt\u2019s something about the engagement that makes manga special.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">www.thenational.ae<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-image-info marginbottom-20\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 gallery-set\">\n<figure class=\"article-image\">\n<div id=\"gallery-322730690-7-19709\" class=\"element-gallery\">\n<div class=\"fotorama fotorama1558851815703\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-auto=\"false\" data-width=\"100%\" data-thumbwidth=\"128\" data-thumbheight=\"128\" data-max-height=\"660\" data-allowfullscreen=\"native\" data-nav=\"thumbs\" data-hash=\"true\" data-transition=\"crossfade\" data-shadows=\"true\">\n<div class=\"fotorama__wrap fotorama__wrap--css3 fotorama__wrap--fade fotorama__wrap--toggle-arrows fotorama__wrap--no-controls\">\n<div class=\"fotorama__stage\">\n<div class=\"fotorama__arr fotorama__arr--next\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"fotorama__video-close\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fotorama__nav-wrap\">\n<div class=\"fotorama__nav fotorama__nav--thumbs fotorama__shadows--right\">\n<div class=\"fotorama__nav__shaft fotorama__grab\">\n<div class=\"fotorama__thumb-border\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"fotorama__nav__frame fotorama__nav__frame--thumb fotorama__active\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">\n<div class=\"fotorama__thumb fotorama__loaded fotorama__loaded--img\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fotorama__nav__frame fotorama__nav__frame--thumb\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">\n<div class=\"fotorama__thumb fotorama__loaded fotorama__loaded--img\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fotorama__nav__frame fotorama__nav__frame--thumb\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">\n<div class=\"fotorama__thumb fotorama__loaded fotorama__loaded--img\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fotorama__nav__frame fotorama__nav__frame--thumb\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">\n<div class=\"fotorama__thumb fotorama__loaded fotorama__loaded--img\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fotorama__nav__frame fotorama__nav__frame--thumb\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">\n<div class=\"fotorama__thumb fotorama__loaded fotorama__loaded--img\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fotorama__nav__frame fotorama__nav__frame--thumb\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">\n<div class=\"fotorama__thumb fotorama__loaded fotorama__loaded--img\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fotorama__nav__frame fotorama__nav__frame--thumb\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">\n<div class=\"fotorama__thumb fotorama__loaded fotorama__loaded--img\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fotorama__nav__frame fotorama__nav__frame--thumb\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">\n<div class=\"fotorama__thumb fotorama__loaded fotorama__loaded--img\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fotorama__nav__frame fotorama__nav__frame--thumb\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">\n<div class=\"fotorama__thumb\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fotorama__nav__frame fotorama__nav__frame--thumb\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">\n<div class=\"fotorama__thumb\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"caption\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The show at the British Museum opens on May 23, and features 162 works by many leading manga artists On June 30, 1880, Japanese artist Kawanabe Kyosai went into a photography studio in Tokyo, downed a beverage\u00a0and began painting with a hemp\u00a0broom.
