A Long History of Animation and the Passion of Creators and Viewers

The venue will feature a large gathering of Japan’s world-class creativity in the field of animation, from the most popular works of the past to the most recent and talked-about works.

One of the attractions of Anime Japan is the opportunity to experience the passion of the creators and sellers, as well as the various technologies that support the production of their works.

How many anime works exist in Japan?

According to the Japan Animation Association (which also exhibited at Anime Japan), there are more than 14,700 titles (as of the end of July, 2022).

This is a long history that has been built up since the first domestically produced animation in 1917.
These works have greatly entertained and encouraged viewers.

■Creativity in Japan is unstoppable!
However, while demand is growing, it is also true that there is a shortage of creative personnel, rising labor costs, and other difficult conditions.
We must not let this wonderful treasure of Japan die out.
I was reminded once again that Japan’s creativity is wonderful, and I strongly felt that I would like to help boost the creative industry by communicating this wonderfulness and
supporting creators, even if only in a small way.
