Kyoto International Manga Museum - Japan
What is so interesting about this museum is that it is a collaboration between Kyoto City and Kyoto Seika University to protect and preserve Manga material, research into Manga culture and is a place to hold exhibitions and house collections. By 2016 it housed some 300,000 items highlighting the strength of the culture and movement as an art genre.
The relevance to my practice is the creation of characters and how they are drawn, My drawings and art are generally of an illustrative nature so I can relate to this style of work and culture. The collection of 50,000 books is useful in my collecting and curating of materials - even though it is different. and very commercial it is still a library / gallery space and a place for people to view the collections.
