Japanese Anime is a huge industry with followers all around the world. As part of my exhibition of Japanese Icons, Old and New, this is the subset of Icons - New. The 1970s saw a surge of growth in the popularity of manga, Japanese comic books and graphic novels, many of which were later animated (Anime). Many anime figures have large emotive eyes. One artist's style allowed for the entire range of human emotions to be depicted solely through the eyes. Hair in anime is often unnatural looking and exaggerated. "Hair action" is used to emphasize the action and emotions of characters. Anime and manga artists often use iconic facial expression illustrations to denote particular moods and thoughts which are usually different from those used in Western animation. For example, a male character may develop a nosebleed when aroused. Japanese anime accounted for 60% of the world's animated cartoon television shows, as of 2016. Anime and Manga are synonymous with modern Japan.
