MY MANGA
My personal project's topic is drawing manga about shogi which is Japanese chess. Manga is one of the expressions of art. In Japan, the word "manga" was used as the Japanese translation of "comic" and "cartoon" imported in the Meiji era (late 18th century to early 19th century) by Japanese artist Kitazawa Rakuten in the 19th century. Since it was first used by him, manga has come to be treated as synonymous with comic, and that "manga" became widespread in the early Showa era, leading to the spread of manga culture in modern times. As a feature of manga expression techniques, the expression of visual information presents a picture. Auditory information is expressed by transcribing voice, and unlike picture book, images appear to be dynamic and moving.
