Manga & anime

Manga and anime are not merely forms of entertainment — they are unique media that reflect the emotions, philosophy, and aesthetics of Japan. Beneath their eye-catching visuals lie profound stories of humanity, impermanence, and dreams. Much like ukiyo-e — “pictures of the floating world” — manga and anime bear witness to our times, capturing our fears and desires.
