[edit] Chinese Influence
Did any Chinese visual arts influence Japan? After all, Japan adopted the Chinese imperial system, the writing system, and Zen Buddhism. Particularly, there is an image in the Journey to the West article that looks very much like a manga page. KyuuA4 08:23, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- You mean Image:Journey.jpg? I'm not sure. Could be. But I don't think it looks more like manga than other strips. Shinobu 00:49, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- Nope. Can't make a determination with just one page. KyuuA4 20:06, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- of course it influenced Japanese visual arts. Even Hokusai, the man the word manga is associated with, was known in Japan as an expert of Chinese painting. China actually made a complete animated feature before Japan, look up Princess Iron Fan —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.111.210.134 (talk • contribs)

[edit] First Manga
What was the first manga? If anyone knows, we should add it. – 「ＪＵＭＰＧＵＲＵ」@Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 00:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- The Before World War II section covers this. There's not really any one manga which is considered the first, but there are several contributors to the evolution of manga discussed there. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 06:09, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
