In conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between Singapore and Japan, Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA), in collaboration with The Association of Japanese Animations (AJA), is pleased to present “JAPAN ANIME NOW in Singapore”. This exhibition, in dedication to the Japanese animation from the 1950s till now, brings together 48 leading Japanese animators. Creators of Doraemon, Konan, Pokemon, Gundam, Astroboy, Kureyon Shinchan, and The Cat Returns, are some of the many on the list. Besides the film presentations of original animation made for TV broadcast, this visual extravaganza, which features originals and replicas of preparatory sketches, ‘the motion pictures’, ‘layout’, ‘background/landscape’, ‘character design catalogues’, ‘scripts’ and ‘cells’, reveals the production process and technology behind these familiar and beloved cartoon characters from Japan. In addition, there will be an AJA documentary about the development of Manga into Anime and exclusive, limited screenings of animated programmes for the public.
