Product Information

Product Description

Hello, I am Seohyeon Woong, an author from the Japanese specialty bookstore "MeeNii".This book explores how Japanese animation has been accepted and transformed within Korean society and culture from the 1960s to the present. Through works spanning generations, from 'Mazinger Z' to 'Your Name,' we will uncover hidden stories of Korean popular culture. This is not just a history of animation but also a cultural history reflecting the changes and growth of Korean society.We aim to revisit Japanese animations from the black-and-white TV era, when parents gathered with neighborhood kids to watch cartoons, to those enjoyed by today's MZ generation. By minimizing technical jargon and complex theories, I hope to guide this journey in a language that everyone can easily understand. Let us begin the journey to discover another aspect of Korean culture through the lens of Japanese animation.Thank you. Read more
