Girls Power - Shojo Manga Exhibit
The Japan Information and Culture Center, with support from the Japan-America Society, is hosting an exhibition of girls’ comics. "Shojo Manga" occupy a very special place in the world of Japanese comics. Not just tales of love, these illustrated stories empower the girls of Japan and aid them in traversing the intricate societal roles and expectations females face in Japan.
Featuring artwork from World War II to the present, the "Girl Power!" exhibit focuses on a period of Japanese history that has seen women’s position in society undergo drastic changes. That path is documented in shojo manga.
Curated by Dr. Masami Toku, Associate Professor of Art and Art History at California State University (Chico), "Girl Power!" has toured throughout North and South America.
The Japan Information and Culture Center is located at Lafayette Center III, 1155 21st Street NW, Washington, DC 20036.
