In the Toshima district of Tokyo at 3 Chome-9-22 Minaminagasaki stands the Manga Museum.
Not far from the old flat where many Japanese authors created their manga, a museum dedicated to this art form has been open since 2020.
While the Tokiwaso flat was used from 1952 to 1982, it was destroyed because it was too dilapidated.
To pay tribute to these mangakas, a monument was erected 300 metres from the place of creation in 2009.
In the museum, in addition to a large bookshop, visitors can discover reconstructions of Tokiwaso’s rooms, workshop, toilets and communal kitchen.
