JAPANESE ANIMATION: From Painted Scrolls to Pokemon

blue, printed buckram binding, 245 pages : illustrations (chiefly color), CONTENTS: Animation's long journey through time -- Pre-cinema and great inventions -- The big production companies -- The Empire of Manga and animation: the role of the big publishers -- Kawamoto Kiharchiro, Grand Master of puppet animation -- Revival and consecration of Japanese anime. "Brigitte Koyama-Richard studies the evolution of Japanese animation through the centuries, retracing its history from painted scrolls to woodblock prints, to animated films, first in black and white, and then in color. A number of prominent artists are showcased, including Tezuka Osamu, the "godfather of anime," and Hayao Miyazaki, founder of the world-renowned Studio Ghibli and creator of films such as Spirited Away--the first anime film to win an Academy Award. Illustrated with over 500 images, many rarely seen in the West, this book bridges the gap between art history and pop culture."--Publisher's description.
