A dominant force in its home country since the 1970s, Japanese animation has become a global phenomenon in recent years. This book studies the evolution of Japanese animation through the centuries, retracing its history from painted scrolls and woodblock prints, to the computer-assisted productions of today. There are some interesting interviews with Japanese animators and others involved in the animation industry.
