TALKSHOW

“The Soul of Anime” & The foundation of the cultural industry in Japan

The Japanese Cultural Exchange Center in Vietnam is pleased to introduce a talk event with the theme “The Soul of Anime” & the foundation of the cultural industry in Japan in collaboration with Book Hunter on June 2nd 2024 at our library.

The Japanese Anime industry, with its enormous influence and outstanding value, has not only affirmed its position in popular culture but also become a symbol of creativity and art. Japanese anime stands out for its diversity and depth of content. The works are not limited to the entertainment genre but also delve into social, philosophical and psychological issues, thereby conveying profound humanistic messages. The ability to combine sophisticated visual art and complex storylines has helped anime create a rich and vivid fantasy world where audiences can find empathy, inspiration, and joy.

The success of the Anime industry, with the premise of manga in Japan, is a case worth learning for Vietnam. Contributing to promoting the spirit of creativity in popular culture, Book Hunter, with partial sponsorship from the Japan Foundation in Vietnam, has published the research work “The Soul of Anime – Collaborative Creativity and Japan’s Media Success Story” ” by Professor Ian Condry, translated by Ho Hong Dang, licensed by Vietnam Women’s Publishing House. “The Soul of Anime” is a valuable resource for those interested in anime, media, and popular culture, providing a comprehensive look at how a part of Japanese culture became a global phenomenon. The book is not only for anime fans but also for researchers of culture, media, and international relations.
This discussion is a suggestion for readers to approach this important work of Anime research.
