Fantasy has long been a cornerstone of visual culture and storytelling in Asia, from traditional Indonesian shadow puppetry to the ‘floating world’ of Edo-period Japan and the international spread of Surrealism. When manga and anime emerged in post-war Japan, immersive realms and alternative realities were fundamental to the cultural phenomenon that soon captivated the globe.
Myths, Monsters, and Manga: The Art of Fantasy in Asia delves into traditions as vibrant and diverse as ghost stories, Godzilla, and cosplay to pinpoint the vital role that fantasy has played in shaping the cultural landscape of Asia, across art, design, architecture, film, fashion, video games and digital media. By exploring the interplay between historical and contemporary influences in China, India, Japan, Korea and beyond, the book provides a fresh perspective on the development of Asian visual culture and its worldwide impact.
