More than anything else, the building of the museum reminded me of the Bureau of Immigration regional office in Tokyo. No new stronghold near the island Tennoz, but the old and close the building in Otemati. And not because the pipes are laid along the ceiling in the corridors, but because that was the same number of people. People seemed to have settled in every free inch - sat on his haunches, standing and even lying around. Of course, the difference consisted in the fact that these people were not foreigners waiting for their turn, these people read and, more importantly, they read the manga. Given the recent influx of visitors to the Kyoto International Manga Museum in one day pereplyunet Bureau of Immigration in Tokyo, at least, satisfied visitors had more accurately. [Yusi Yasuni (Yushi Yasuno), a workers' theater paintings, during the presentation.] In November 2006, in the city center (near the metro station Karasuma-Oike (Karasuma-Oike)) revealed that the soon to become the world's largest collection of manga, and for the first 12 months of operation has attracted about 30,000 foreign visitors. This number represents about 15% of the total number of visitors per 220700 people per year - one of the highest rates among all museums in Japan. The popularity of the museum for foreign tourists due, on the one hand, the surprising fact that this museum is the only museum in Japan dedicated to the manga, which has long been considered too low grade to deal with whatever was in research and collections. Another reason is that the museum is a modern alternative to traditional Kyoto temples and shrines. Manga Museum is a joint venture between Kyoto and Kyoto University Seiki (Seika) and aims to preserve the historical and contemporary manga to the public. In addition, the manga museum is a research center for scholars. University provides the museum staff, and the city - a building that is attractive in itself. In a city that prides itself on its own history, residents of Karasuma Oike, apparently, managed to overcome their initial skepticism snobbish, after they learned that their beloved local elementary school under the new contract will receive a second life. Originally, this building really does have an elementary school Tatsuike (Tatsuike), whose central wing was completed in 1929, but the building stood empty since 1995, after reducing the number of schoolchildren in the city. Later followed by a respectful restoration and the old building has a new tenant - a museum. Hiroko Nakamura (Hiroko Nakamura), the representative of the Museum of Public Relations, arranged for me a small tour. "From the first to the third floor we have is Wall manga" - she said. - "Customers can come and read any of the manga 50000, standing on the shelves." [Mangamany in museum corridors.] While we strolled the 80-year plaques, Nakamura explained that "we wanted to make it a living museum" where people can move freely. "Besides," - she added. - "When they read the manga, people seem to switch off from this world and absolutely not hear the noise around". Wall manga consists primarily of publications, post-1970., And includes the most popular works, including «One Piece», «Nana» and «Naruto». "We do not want to interfere in the sale of manga, so we do not sell the latest issues" - says Nakamura. Go down the original stone staircase, we got to the "Archive", which stores the manga series, published prior to 1970. "Manga of our grandparents is available here for reading", - says Nakamura. «Norakuro» - history of the 1930's. about the dog, which came into the army, particularly popular with older visitors. In total, the museum contains approximately 200,000 names of manga to the end of this year, he plans to collect 100,000 more, making the Museum of manga at Kyoto's largest collection of manga in the world. Although the "archived" manga is available on request, the museum also has a certain number of treasures that can be viewed on the screen. These include the very first manga published in Japanese, «Eshinbun Nipponchi». She left in 1874 and at that time was under the influence of the «Japan Punch», which created the British journalist Charles Vogman (Charles Wargman) in 1862, of course, scientists, theorists now traced the popularity of manga in Japan until the ukiyo-e, printed in the Edo period, and images of animals «Choju Giga», dating from the XII century. that the museum also shows on the display. [1932 Children's Assembly on site of the future museum.] Nevertheless, modern manga in Japan originated abroad - through the various relations began Meiji period (1868-1912). These ties were strengthened again in recent years. "We have visitors coming from France, the United States, Australia, South Korea, China," - says Nakamura, noting that the inscriptions in the museum are made in five languages - Japanese, and four more, especially for visitors from other countries. According to Nakamura, museum visitors are divided into two categories: "scientists, who come for specific names for research, and just fans. "This manga, like« Nana », now goes abroad in English, so that fans of the English versions often come to see how the manga looks like with the Japanese characters", - she said. - "In addition, foreigners often hear that the Japanese withdraw entirely in the manga during travel, so that some visitors come just to gaze at the Japanese, who read the manga
here." I must admit that I was extremely impressed by - walk on foot through the whole museum with a permanent uvorachivaniem from ssutulennyh overstep his shoulders and stretched his legs across was something new and original, at least. Of course, during our walk, we encountered a handful of visitors who came from afar. "We - the students on the exchange, who came to study at the University of Kyoto", - explained the 26-year-old Sabine, who came to Japan along with the 23-year-old Melanie from Germany. Both girls are a fan of manga and come here to find favorite works ( «Fushigi Yuugi» and «Fruits Basket») in the original language. "This is a big and ambitious museum, and it is good that you can come here and just read your favorite manga along with friends," - says Sabine. There are in the museum's storerooms and copies of Japanese manga, published abroad in English, for example, the popular «Hagane no Renkinjutsushi», as well as examples of foreign comics and books. Also in the museum holds temporary exhibitions. Before 1 April, in particular, an exhibition of art kamishibai (theater pictures), whose supporters staged for visitors to the museum a small presentation. This theater is one of the most popular forms of entertainment for children and its essence lies in the fact that the charismatic storyteller tells a certain history and turn the pages with pictures, inserted in a special frame. «Ougon bat !!!», - rings out the cry of the narrator, who was the hero of the story, apparently, beloved children back in 1920, the Seeing me in the crowd, he was freed, he said:« Kamishibai his images so compelling that even foreigners can enjoy it! ". Entrance to the Museum of the manga is 300 yen for high school students and 500 yen - for high school students. For more information, call or visit www.kyotomm.com.
