Japanese Art Shows Its True Colors in Decorating and Home Fashion
I’ve enjoyed Manga and Anime for some time. I’m not an addict or anything, but I see the same coolness in Manga that I find in Comic Book Art, Graffiti Art, and Pop Art.
It’s fun, colorful, sometimes heroic and action oriented, playful.
Manga is basically Japanese cartooning. The word means “whimsical drawings” and Manga had it’s start after WWII. It has gained in popularity around the world, particularly with Anime, which is motion picture Manga.
Wikipedia says “…people of all ages read Manga. The medium includes works in…genres (including) action-adventure, romance, sports and games, historical drama, comedy, science fiction and fantasy, mystery, horror, sexuality, and business/commerce, among others.”
I am interested in Manga from a home décor perspective, mainly because fits the colorful, fun vibe we are cooking up with our ModHome collection.
What follows is a snapshot of Manga in home décor, as well as a few Manga Art pictures that could be a fit as Pop Art on the wall. To protect your “baby eyes” I’ve edited out most of the the Ero Manga or Hentai Art that was too pervy :). Hope you enjoy!
Shine on! Braxton

Where did you get the idea? I like the concept of having it look like a comic page. For the bedroom design, it was animated I must say...
I think Lichtenstein was the root thought. Love the heroic look and the pop art of comics and manga. Glad you enjoyed! Shine On! Brax
