Anime and Japanese Culture
Japanese Culture
Japanese popular culture not only reflects the
attitudes and concerns of the present day but also provides a link to
the past. Popular films, television programs, manga, music, anime and
video games all developed from older artistic and literary traditions,
and many of their themes and styles of presentation can be traced to
traditional art forms. Contemporary forms of popular culture, much like
the traditional forms, provide not only entertainment but also an escape
for the contemporary Japanese from the problems of an industrial world.
Many anime and manga are very popular around the world and continue to
become popular, as well as Japanese video games, fashion, and game
shows. There is a large selection of music, films, and the products of a
huge manga and anime industry, among other forms of entertainment, from
which to choose. Game centers, bowling alleys, and karaoke are popular
hangout places for teens while older people may play shogi or go in
specialized parlors. Together, the publishing, film/video, music/audio,
and game industries in Japan make up the growing Japanese content
industry.
