SUMMARY:The Atkinson: Atkinson: The Shojo Manga: The World of Japanese Girl
 s' Comics
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition runs Saturday 9 January 2016 - Sunday 14 February 20
 16\n\nThe first major exhibition of Japanese Shojo (Girl’s) Manga in the
  UK is presented at The Atkinson\, Southport in association with the Kyoto
  International Manga Museum.\n\nThe Shojo Manga: The World of Japanese Gir
 ls’ Comics exhibition launches on Saturday 9 January and introduces the 
 world of Japanese Shojo (Girl’s) Manga through elaborate replica (Genga
 ’ (Dash)) prints developed jointly by Kyoto Seika University’s Interna
 tional Manga Research Centre and the Manga artist Keiko Takemiya\, Dean of
  the Kyoto Seika University.\n\nThe exhibition features the incredible wor
 k of three artists – Akiko Hatsu\, Keiko Takemiya and Yukiko Kai but al
 so includes the work of 17 other artists who have all helped shape the wor
 ld of Shojo Manga.\n\nJapanese Shojo Manga culture dates back to the post 
 war years but only evolved into its broad-ranging and hugely popular form 
 of today thanks to the innovative work of a small group of artists in the 
 1970s\, when artists such as Takemiya emerged on the scene turning what ha
 d previously been seen as a “low” form of manga into a cultural genre 
 to rival literature. She published many Shojo Manga exploring new themes s
 uch as young homosexual love (“The Poem of Wind and Trees”) and scienc
 e fiction (“To Terra”).\n\nGenga’ (Dash) prints are copies of origin
 al artworks faithfully reproduced with the aim of conserving the original 
 Manga artwork\, which is easily damaged or worn.\n\nThe elaborate reproduc
 tions of original Manga drawings through the use of computerised fine colo
 ur adjustment and printing\, reproduces subtle differences in the shades a
 nd colour graduation with such precision that it is almost indistinguishab
 le from the original\, when placed next to each other.\n\nThis fabulous ex
 hibition for all ages is only on display for five weeks at The Atkinson fr
 om Saturday 9 January – Sunday 14 February and then it travels The House
  of Illustration in London from 15 March 012 June 2016.\n\nFor more inform
