Contributions by Kenny K. N. Chow, Sheuo Hui Gan, Hiroshi Ikeda,
Sonoko Ishida, Tokumitsu Kifune, Joon Yang Kim, Dong-Yeon Koh,
Masashi Koide, Akiko Sano, Akiko Sugawa-Shimada, Nobuyuki Tsugata,
Yasushi Watanabe, and Makiko Yamanashi Japanese Animation: East
Asian Perspectives makes available for the first time to English
readership a selection of viewpoints from media practitioners,
designers, educators, and scholars working in the East Asian
Pacific. This collection not only engages a multidisciplinary
approach in understanding Japanese animation but also shows ways to
research, teach, and more fully explore this multidimensional
world. Presented in six sections, the translated essays
cross-reference each other. The collection adopts a wide range of
critical, historical, practical, and experimental approaches. This
variety provides a creative and fascinating edge for both
specialist and nonspecialist readers. Contributors' works share a
common relevance, interest, and involvement despite their regional
considerations and the different modes of analysis demonstrated.
They form a composite of teaching and research ideas on Japanese
animation. Masao Yokota, Tokyo, Japan, is professor of psychology
at Nihon University and former chair of the Japan Society for
Animation Studies. Tze-yue G. Hu, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, is an
independent scholar and author of Frames of Anime: Culture and
Image-Building.
