Kyoto International Manga museum - main exhibition.

This view greets you as you enter the main permanent exhibition centre in the Kyoto Manga Museum.
Notice the walls of Manga books. These shelves go all the way up to the high ceilings, on three sides of the room. I'll show you why it's only three sides in a minute.
You can see the numbered displays which are in Japanese and English, which you follow in order.
Note that the museum really focuses on the printed medium of Manga, as the arrival of mass production and printing greatly expanded the market, production and therefore, the profitability of Manga.
