日本漫画的起源与发展 英文

The next kind of manga, emerging in the 16th century, were ink brushed illustrated prints with captions, but it lacked a progressive story. Because of the censorship in Japan during the late 1920's and early 30's the Japanese government began to intimidate artists and publishers. The result was the closing-down or extreme censoring of magazines. To say what needed to be said, "jail editors" would take the blame for publishing a comic that criticized the government and went to jail. Tezuka debuted with a comic book in 1947, “New Treasure Island”, an Akahon (a cheap "Red Book"). Akahon was a niche industry that provided entertainment to the poor children of post-war Japan. New Treasure Island sold an unprecedented 400,000 copies, changing the face of manga forever.

The Origins & History of Manga





The Zen cartoons of the medieval period and the comic animal scrolls of the tenth century were the very first examples of manga (Japanese comics). In the 13th century, pictures of the afterlife and animals started appearing on temple walls and are similar to modern manga. From there, manga started to branch out to many other subjects. The manga drawn on wood blocks in the 1600's was known as edo. Edo was often graphically erotic, but branched out to encompass other subjects like buildings and satire
