Japan: Kingdom of Characters

26 Dec 2011 - 20 Mar 2012

In recent years, a subculture related to Japanese anime and manga has rapidly attracted worldwide attention. To make the most of this trend, the Japan Foundation presents JAPAN: Kingdom of Characters – a traveling exhibition which examines characters as one radical aspect of this subculture.

In this exhibition, as the intimate relationship between characters and Japanese people is introduced, visitors will gain a better understanding of the cultural and historical background behind the Japanese love of characters as well as the future of characters in contemporary Japan.
