      | In line with Philippines-Japan Friendship month, aside from Eiga Sai (in which DEPARTURES is highly recommended by me ^-^), Japan Foundation together with the Embassy of Japan in Manila brings a travelling exhibit here in Manila.
JAPAN: KINGDOM OF CHARACTERS is a travelling exhibition that focuses on characters that fill the world of anime and manga along with how they delved into the daily Japanese life. According to Chuvaness’ entry, the exhibit is divided into 3 sections: -
Changes in Japanese society from the 1950’s to the present -
Bond that Japanese have with characters (created a reproduction of a high school girl’s room filled with Hello Kitty merchandises) -
“The Future of Characters” wherein is exhibit looks at the emerging forms of characters. The exhibit also showed a bit on the factor that play a vital role in their future development (new software, cosplays, etc.) JAPAN: KINGDOM OF CHARACTERS will be open to the public on July 8, 2011 until August 20 at the Tall Galleries, Metropolitan Museum of Manila, Monday to Saturday, 9AM to 6PM. The exhibit is also supported by Toshiba (Philippines) Inc.
