Japan's four major publishing houses jointly established a comics original painting museum, which collected 360,000 pieces in 5 years

Last week, Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs announced that it would take the lead in planning and start collecting, preserving and regulating the outflow of Japanese anime manuscripts overseas next year. Then on August 21, Japan's four major publishing houses announced their collective participation in the plan. Each company will invest 10 million yen in advance to establish a comic original painting museum, which is expected to collect 360,000 precious original paintings in five years.

·The four major Japanese publishing houses, Kodansha, Shueisha, Shogakukan, and KADOKAWA, as well as many other publishing organizations will participate in the manga collection plan. First, a private association "Manga Archives Organization" will be established. Through cooperation with art galleries around the country, it is expected to collect 360,000 precious original drawings in five years.

In the Japanese animation industry, comic original drawings were not taken seriously in the past, and were basically abandoned after the publication of magazines and single volumes. As the fields of various collectible arts continue to expand, the value of comic original drawings has been repeatedly increased. It is time to establish a unified original drawing collection plan.
