Modern manga is a global phenomenon, but its roots stretch back further than you might imagine.

Manga is a diverse and popular art form in which artists tell stories through pictures and words. Japanese manga artists find inspiration for their work in daily life, the world around them, and also in the ancient past. Many people are familiar with modern manga, but the art form – with its expressive lines and images – is much older than you might think. As the Citi exhibition Manga マンガ is announced, here is a brief history of Japanese manga in 12 works.

You can find out about the 12 works here or you can purchase tickets to the exhibition using the button below.
