ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Manga didn’t begin in the 20th century — it emerged from a rich, inventive world of illustrated books in early Japan. 🇯🇵📚 In Japan’s Manga Revolution, art historian Andreas Marks takes us through the playful, dramatic, and groundbreaking works that defined Japanese visual storytelling: Hokusai’s sketchbooks, Utamaro’s creature studies, serialized adventure sagas, and the first publication to ever use the word manga.
Discover how these early innovations set the stage for the global manga culture we know today.
