Manga is Japanese comics whose history is deeply rooted in Japan's ancient culture. The term "manga" emerged in the 18th century, popularized by the artist Hokusai, but the art of illustrated storytelling dates back to the Heian period (8th–12th centuries), when monks created illustrated scrolls. Modern manga took shape after World War II, influenced by Western comics. Notable works include those by Osamu Tezuka, known as the "father of manga."
Manga is popular not only in Japan but also worldwide, including the US, Europe, and even Russia. Its genres are diverse—ranging from romance and adventure to science fiction and horror—making it appealing to all age groups. Each manga features a vibrant visual style characteristic of Japanese animation.
Using manga for interior decoration is a unique way to bring a piece of Japanese culture into your home. Posters, framed manga pages, pillows with character prints, or even wallpaper with manga themes can serve as striking accents, adding coziness and individuality to any interior.
