Tonite: Hanga to Manga, Toronto
:: Posted by Bryan @ 5/22/2008 02:47:00 AM Toronto Public Library will present From Hanga to Manga, an exhibition of woodblock prints (hanga), Japanese comics (manga) and rare illustrated books. Japan's rich literary tradition has grown alongside a complementary respect and appreciation for stories told largely or entirely in pictures. The exhibition features a wide variety of these materials from Toronto Public Library's Special Collections, supplemented by loans from the H. H. Mu Far Eastern Library at the Royal Ontario Museum and the Japan Foundation.
The Lecture:
The Man who made 'The Great Wave'
Award-winning novelist Katherine Govier discusses her research into the little known life and mysterious works of woodblock print artist Katsushika Hokusai.
Thurs. May 22nd, 2008, 7 p.m.
