I remember when I was a child, from Doraemon, Dragon Ball, YuYu Hakusho, Slam Dunk to the current Naruto, One Piece, it can be said that it is the generation of manga. Strictly speaking, without manga, there would be no nicklee, huh? The Kyoto Manga Museum is located in the city center of Kyoto, inside this building. However, the front is a restaurant and the back is the museum.
At the Kyoto International Manga Museum.
The area is open, so some people lie on the grass to read books…
Under normal circumstances, tickets are required for entry. The ticket prices are as follows: adults – ￥800, high school and middle school students – ￥300, elementary school students – ￥100. If adults use a one-day subway pass to enter, they can enjoy a 20% discount (￥640).
I thought this was the legendary “chef’s badge”, but it turns out it’s just a “photography permit”.
You can see bright lights as soon as you enter. On the first floor, there are some foreign comics displayed.
Of course, Taiwan also has its own…
Next, we went up to the second floor to visit the comic museum, which I felt was more like a comic rental store.
This is not drawn by a manga artist, but by a primary school student who graduated from here. Yes, it’s true! The predecessor of the Manga Museum was a primary school.
Children’s Library
Everyone loves reading comics.
The theme of each manga artist’s artwork is: 100 Maiko (drawn by one hundred artists).
The curator is currently not here, so he is being replaced by this fake mannequin head.
This place used to be called “Tatsuike Primary School”. Here are the historical photos of the school.
The hand of a famous cartoonist.. The person in the middle is Hayao Miyazaki.
Kamishibai is similar to storytelling under a bridge, but it uses pictures to present the story, aiming to captivate young children.
This is the famous Phoenix drawn by the renowned Osamu Tezuka~
Young comic magazines, like Weekly Shonen Jump and the like… However, back then, the idols of children were probably sumo wrestlers and professional baseball players.
Translated into many language versions of Doraemon~ I remember always going to the grocery store to buy those 10 yuan books~ Translated into Nobita Nobi, Doraemon, Goda Takeshi, Honekawa Suneo…
Dragon Ball… I only saw transformations after transformations, and when it finally reached the Super Saiyan level, I stopped watching~
The top spot on the best-selling chart goes to “One Piece” Volume 53, selling 2.5 million copies.
Next, let’s go to the nearby restaurant and grab something to eat. I don’t know why, but suddenly I’m feeling a bit hungry. This restaurant has some artwork by comic artists that you can see.
If you want to eat something, you need to use a meal voucher machine.
Because I was a little hungry, I ordered some french fries to munch on~
I have forgotten what this is… XD
