KCP Anime/Manga Students Visit Suginami Animation Museum and Local Shrine

On July 9, Summer Anime and Manga students visited Suginami Animation Museum, which provides a comprehensive view of Japanese animation–its origins, history, and prospective future. The museum also has a library and a movie theater where people can enjoy animation works.

The KCP students had a workshop to create a flip animation piece to learn about the principles of animation.

On the way to the museum, they also visited a local shrine.
