Manga Kamishibai: The Art of Japanese Paper Theater is the first book of its kind to examine the origin of the modern manga phenomenon. Kamishibai (paper theatre) is a fascinating & nearly vanished Japanese art form that paved the way for modern-day comic books & is central to the phenomenon of manga. During the height of kamishibai in the 1930s, the gaito kamishibaya (street-corner storyteller) acted as an entertainer & reporter, gathering residents of local towns for the much-anticipated picture show
- which was economically backed by selling candy, roasted chestnuts, & sweet potatoes to the children. Typically the storyteller would travel to several villages during the day & set up his butai, (a miniature wooden proscenium), through which the illustrated boards were shown. The stories that were depicted ranged from action-packed westerns, period pieces, traditional folk tales, & melodramas, to nightly news reporting on World War II. More than just illustrated pictures, a good storyteller would act out the parts of each character with different voices & facial expressions. As television was introduced to Japan, the art of kamishibai died out; its influence, however, can still be seen in modern pop culture
- from videogames to manga comics. Author Eric P. Nash conducted years of extensive research, & was granted unprecedented access to little-known archives of kamishibai in Tokyo. With rare images & expert writing, this book will easily become an essential guide to the origins of manga & its history
