Head into Tokyo’s Central Nakano district, the most famous area in the city for manga. Visit a Japanese manga school and learn all about the history of this century-old interest and art. Receive hands-on training from a manga professional on how to draw these uniquely Japanese artistic representations of everyday life/fantasy.
Manga has been an integral part of Japanese arts and culture since the 18th century, serving as a medium for representing the day-to-day lives and fantasies of Japanese society. The origins of manga date back to the 12th century, when artists used to draw a series of pictures of frogs and rabbits on scrolls, making them appear like they are moving. Today, manga can be found in different forms of publication – in paperback-style or online, with varying genres ranging from comedy to action.
Today, get to know some of the basics of manga drawing with the guidance of a Japanese teacher. The class will take place in a Japanese manga school in Central Nakano, the district in Tokyo famous for anime and otaku (die-hard fans). In the next 2 hours, learn about the history of manga and the unique yet distinctive style in drawing this Japanese form of cartoon.
After the workshop, either head back to the hotel or stay in Nakano to check out some of the underground anime, manga, or otaku places.
