Outline of Final Research Achievements

The study focused on popular culture museum; it especially compared, analyzed and explored manga museums by looking at the exhibition spaces and its visitor behavior. We have done surveys not only in Japan but also in France and Korea. Our symposiums were successful with more than 100 participants, and a thorough discussion about manga museums was held. As outcomes of this research project, we have one refereed paper in the Architectural Institute of Japan by Tanigawa, another refereed paper in Central Japan Society for Human Studies by other research members, one co-written book ‘Let’s go to manga museums’, and two ‘Discussion Papers’ i.e.booklets of about 120 pages which put together our research results.
