Yokoyama Memorial Manga Museum (Yokoyama Ryuichi Kinen Mangakan)

Yokoyama Memorial Manga Museum (Yokoyama Ryuichi Kinen Mangakan) Review

The playful, modern Yokoyama Memorial Manga Museum celebrates the life and work of Japan's first great cartoonist, Ryuichi Yokoyama. Many people here don't remember his name either, but his most popular character, Fuku-chan, is still widely loved. The Mangakan offers a window into a talented creator's life and work, and it's a lot of fun: the cartoons inspire and delight, and no language skill is required to enjoy most of the visual humor. Look through World War II propaganda cartoons (from the other side), interactive print stations, dioramas, model railroads, and tons of comic strips.
