L.I Research the History of Manga
Our reading comprehension focus today was to complete a about the history of Manga to show that we are reading for meaning and understanding. Our final challenge in this activity was to create a DLO to share the information we found out. Manga is a originated Japanese collection and series of comic books/graphic novels. Manga was first founded from scrolls back in the 12th - 13th centuries. The word Manga was first bring to light when Hokusai Katsushika used it to describe his ukiyo-e sketches. In 1853+ Manga was than starting to take hold of western influence. Between the years of 1945 - 1980, Manga started to make an appearance as “modern manga”. Osamu Tezuka a Japanese manga artist, created a new and fresh part to the history of manga. Osamu Tezuka in Japan and frequently nicknamed the "Walt Disney of Japan" by Americans, Osamu Tezuka was perhaps the most important contemporary comic artist in entire Japan. On February 9, 1989 when Osamu Tezuka passed away, it was evaluated that he had drawn approximately 170,000 individual cartoons and created somewhere near 700 stories. After Osamu Tezuka's death, Manga magazine Weekly Young Magazine was introduced and a lot of famous manga's that we know of now(which have now been put into anime's) including, Goku, Sailor moon etc.
We found it interesting that the oldest Manga is from the 12th and 13th century.
Hi Sulia
ReplyDeleteI found reading your DLO about the history of Manga very informative and interesting. It is fascinating that something dating back to the 12th century has come such a long way and is so popular around the world today. I didn't know that Manga books are read right to left which I found interesting.
Great work
