Mighty Atom
Astro Boy, by Tezuka Osamu
Taken as part of Manga マンガ (May – August 2019)
This exhibition brings to life the art of manga, looking at how it emerged in Japan and grew to be a worldwide cultural phenomenon. It explores manga’s enduring appeal and cultural crossover, showcasing original Japanese manga and its enormous influence, from anime to gaming to ‘cosplay’ performance art. From earlier forms such as the comic or dramatic designs by famous Japanese artists Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), Kawanabe Kyōsai (1831-1889) and others through to the 21st century, today there is indeed a manga for everyone.
