Year 9 Manga and Manga Portraits
Manga is a diverse and popular art form in which artists tell stories through pictures and words. Japanese
manga artists find inspiration for their work in daily life, the world around them, and also in the ancient
past. Many people are familiar with modern manga, but the art form – with its expressive lines and images –
is much older than you might think.
Modern manga is a global phenomenon, but its roots stretch back further than
Kawanabe Kyōsai, stage curtain for the Shintomi Theatre 30 June 1880.
That day, after consuming a few bottles of rice wine, Kyōsai
retreated to a studio and started painting. Four hours later
he emerged with 17 meters of painted curtain, depicting the
members of the acting company as various kinds of
monsters. Kyōsai’s homage to the actors created a
sensation. His spontaneous wit and expressive line stand at
Manga comes from 'man' and 'ga' and means crazy sketches or irresponsible pictures.
The word Manga is now in the English dictionary and means Japanese comics (the word for Jap-
anese animation is 'anime'). For the last several centuries, it's been part of Japanese culture to
tell stories using several images displayed in sequence. t's really hard to say what could have
been the first manga ever. Some say that the 18th century illustrated book called kibyoshi could
qualify has being the first one. But one thing is almost certain, the word manga has probably
been used for the first time at the beginning of the 19th century.In the 18th and 19th centuries,
illustrations were made on wood block and already, they could be very detailed using various
gray tones techniques. Some were using words to help describe and tell the story more efficient-
ly. One of the differences between a manga and an American comic strip is that most of the time,
a manga will be the vision of a single person. Perhaps one of the most popular manga of all time
(and the one that started all) was Mighty Atom (aka Astro Boy in the US) created by Osamu
Tezuka around the 50s. One of the fascinating aspects of manga cartoons in this period of time is
the appearance of series for girls and adult readers. In North America, comics are often seen as
"a kid thing". But in Japan, everyone can find something interesting, adults or kids, boys or girls.
Manga is a 6 billion dollar market in Japan. Amazingly, Manga makes up 40% of all publications
