Why have Japanese manga captivated readers worldwide, and where did they originate? nIn this compelling survey, art historian Andreas Marks traces the development of Japanese illustrated books in premodern times. As early as the 17th century, Japanese publishers were producing thousands of illustrated titles on subjects ranging from religion and poetry to celebrated beauties, famous kabuki actors, farting warriors, and adventure tales. This flourishing book culture laid the foundation for the vibrant manga and comics industry of today. n nMarks explores this evolution through five key works, including: n nn n- Kitagawa Utamaros Picture Book of Crawling Creatures (1788) -- a beautifully illustrated collection of plants and animals paired with poetry. n- Hokusais Sketchbooks (early 1800s) -- featuring hundreds of innovative drawing and design ideas by Katsushika Hokusai, whose work influenced many renowned European artists. n- The New Illustrated Water Margin -- Hokusais adaptation of a Chinese novel about a band of fictional heroes with superpowers, offering a bold reimagining of the story. n- The Tale of Shiranui (1849 - 1910) -- an adventure novel serialized over six decades. n- The early-20th-century Current Affairs Manga -- the first periodical to use the word manga in its title, providing illustrated commentary on contemporary political events. nJapans Manga Revolution offers the first comprehensive overview of Japans rich tradition of illustrated storytelling and its lasting impact on visual culture worldwide.
