Opportunities to showcase manga in the context of fine art grew on an international scale following the manga exhibition held at the British Museum in 2019, which led us to starting the Shueisha Manga-Art Heritage project (SMAH). With this in mind, we wanted to create something that can be preserved and inherited by the next generation by using the best possible paper and printing methods available. Many manga are published weekly and therefore drawn in a short time period, with analog manuscripts often on paper that fades and degrades easily, and with digital manuscripts that have no guarantee on long-term storage and usability. Manga is drawn with the intention to print.
Please share a little bit about the project’s background.
