Impact Of Manga On Teenagers

From the time we are born, we are immediately introduced to influences that will shape and develop our character for the rest of our lives. Our character can be affected in a positive or a negative way by various influences that we encounter on a daily basis. We need to be aware of how much we absorb and let those influences change our behavior. External influences, such as video games, movies, and television shows impact our everyday lives, even when we are not conscious of them.

Japan’s literati paintings where inspired by China, which was only connected with Japan through Korea. One of the most famous painters of this style was Yosa Buson, using poetic ability with both haiku and his paintings. (Kleiner 1075) These changes soon led to the availability of cheap prints and ukiyo-e to depict the delights of the city. One of the most famous ukiyo-e printmakers was Suzuki Harunobu who influenced the development of polychrome prints. These prints were very sumptuous and colorful and called nishiki-e (“brocade pictures”). These prints were made of the best quality materials and costly pigments and were not very common in the Edo period. Harunobu’s genius in his work is well shown in the Evening Bell at the Clock (Fig. 34-1). This print was based on a Chinese series where the images depicted a certain time of day or time of year in the work. In Harunobu’s version, the subjects were beautiful young women and their activities in their daily lives. The two women in the pint are seen from a regular Japanese elevated point of view, with one drying herself and the other looking away at a clock. Private scenes like this were very common in ukiyo-e. Before Harunobu’s Evening Bell at the Clock, this theme was not a regular subject seen in ukiyo-e, but soon became a common sight. These prints used flatness and rich colors to

a psychologist did with urban teens. He said that “Children need violence entertainment to explore the inescapable feelings that they have been taught to deny and to reintegrate those feelings into a more complex selfhood” (200).

At first, his pictures were only to be found in the wastebaskets of the offices. However, his creativity was soon recognized when sales went up when his comics were published.

In middle school, I remember “Sailor Moon” being the talk of my classmates. It didn’t take long for me to get involved in this series with “Pokemon” soon to follow. I remember going to class with poke-ball keychains, from Burger King, attached to my pants and declaring I was a going to be a Pokemon master. As time went on I became a huge anime fan, and began drawing in the style as well. I would often draw sketches for my classmates, and as time went on I became more and more interested in Japanese culture. When I was in high school, I began studying Japanese and even was selected to be a member of the Japanese National Honor Society.

In England, the children’s book market had been growing at a rapid pace, resulting to the introduction of books that featured full-color reproductions. Humor illustration was also very popular amongst the public crowd. The three top ranking magazines from America were “Puck”, “Judge” and “Life”. Illustrators such as T.S. Sullivant worked for all three and his depiction of anthropomorphic animals in the magazines inspired future animators such as Walt Disney (www.illustrationhistory.org). However, one particular artist from the 1990s worth mentioning was Charles Dana

The art of South and East Asia provided new forms for traditional ideas. Japan is one of a multiplicity of countries where the ideas of artists were rooted in the artistic traditions of previous eras or of other countries. These artists would then place their own spin on the art, in regards to both subject and style. Tradition and innovation are complementary qualities of the arts of South and East Asia, as the artists of South and East Asia both inspired other artists and took inspiration from other artists.

Post-war Japanese society is a world where High and Low art is blurred together by otaku, such as anime, and social class. However, Takashi Murakami straddles the line. Murakami spills a mix of Nihanga and Otaku into the canvases, plastic toys, handbags, shoes, etc; endorsing his own theory/style named “Superflat”. Using strategical subject matter such as popular Japanese comic figures combined with ukiyo-e(traditional Japanese block prints), and addressing these contrasting qualities to outside cultures; Murakami intensifies what Pop Art accomplished, art versus material. On other feelings, one could argue that “Superflat” isn’t a unique, Japan-identified style, that “Superflat” is a humiliation to the Contemporary Art world because of its commercialism. Lastly, that is a continuation of the already well developed Pop Art. On the supporting side, Murakami’s “Superflat” is a high-energy, cross-culture style that serves as a new way to represent the high and low of art that is considerably unique to Japan. To support this, Murakami’s past and present artwork will have to be established chronologically to illustrate how the timeline affects his work.
