In my thesis, I investigate how Japanese manga is classified as art. I am interested in its appearance in culture and world that manga represents. I explore both the psychological motivations/backgrounds for the stories, namely as the history of the creation of the manga. I am interested in whether the inclusion/non-inclusion in the arts was influenced by the difference in openness/closedness of Japanese society. Through the chapters on Manga, Figures in Colour Space, Colour, Light and Incarnate, Framing/Sequences, I reflected on the connection between manga and painting based on my own work.
