(Source : flickr)
Ishinomori Manga Museum is the memorial house of Ishinomori Shotaro who was born in Miyagi prefecture and created “Kamen Rider.” In this museum, you can enjoy the appeal of Ishinomori’s animation and manga from different perspectives with exhibits of works by Ishinomori, the theater where you can watch Ishinomori animation, and the multimedia studio, where you can experience the process of creating an animation. The museum was closed temporarily due to the Great East Japan earthquake in 2011, but the revamped museum re-opened in 2012.

The exhibition room where you can experience the Ishinomori world

They permanently exhibit the representative works by Ishinomori such as Cyborg 009, Kamen Rider, and Android Kikaider with sound, videos and motion. There is also an original picture by Ishinomori that you can’t see anywhere else. Special exhibitions are always held which are also a must see.

Many workshops

In the “Manga lecture for beginners” in the multimedia studio on the third floor, the pictures you draw become an animation. The animation will be created with the pictures on the spot. They also have workshops such as “Multimedia Animation," where you can learn the structure of animation through four games.

Manga Shikake Dokei

Manga Shikake Dokei, the mechanical watch placed on the ceiling of the entrance is the symbol of the museum. Every hour Hakuryu, a white dragon, and characters from Ishinomori works come down from the ceiling and tell us a short story with some music.
