KCP Summer Anime and Manga Students Visit Ghibli and Kotobukiya

In July, KCP Summer Anime and Manga Students went to Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Tokyo, which features animation works of Studio Ghibli. Although picture taking was not allowed inside the building, we managed to get a few snaps outside. We also enjoyed viewing all the exhibits showcasing the history and science of animation.

After Ghibli, we went to Kotobukiya Co., Ltd, a world-famous manufacturing company of model kits, fine art statues, and action figures. One of the Kotobukiya staff, Mr. Paske, gave us an informative presentation about Kotobukiya and international business, and the differences between American and Japanese markets.
