A special exhibition taking place at the Sumida Hokusai Museum until January 24th looks at the origins of manga in Japan and how they have developed over time. The event will explore pieces like ukiyo-e prints, manga magazines from the Meiji and Taisho eras, caricatures in Japanese modern print media, and the explosion in popularity of children's manga during the Showa era.
Adult admission to the event is priced at 1200 yen.
