Japan Media Arts Festival is a festival of art, entertainment, animation and manga that started in 1997 and is in it's 14th year.

The festival expanded itself within Japan and also overseas from 2002, this year it will come to Kyoto for the first time. It's coming to manga museum and Kyoto Art Center.

We are going to exhibit the Manga section of the festival, you will be able to see one episode of original manga from “Vinland Saga” (Yukimura makoto).

Also there is a talk show with a manga artist Igarashi Daisuke, a chief editor Egami Hideki and an editor Toyoda Yumetaro from "Monthly IKKI" on the September 4th, also a symposium with a game creator Miyamoto Shigeru and our museum director Yoro Takeshi on the 5th.

We are showing short animation selection (120min) which has winning entries from the past.

You can read award wining manga artists books in the new arrival section.

All of the newly arrived books have a blue sticker so please put them back to where they were after you finish reading.
