By the 1960\u2019s the medium was referred to as \u2018bande dessin\u00e9e\u2019 (drawn strips). Soon artists began creating art and stories for a more mature audience and critics began to refer to graphic novels and comics as \u2018The Ninth Art\u2019. Since then a vibrant manga culture has taken hold and has influenced many new artists to incorporate Japanese styles into their pieces. To illustrate how strong this has taken hold in French culture the Louvre Museum has been featuring manga as modern art. They have also invited manga artists from inside and outside of France to contribute to the \u2018Louvre Museum BD Project\u2019 which has the artists create pieces using the Louvre as inspiration. That same project is now coming to the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. The exhibition will include over 300 original works by 16 artists including the famous Japanese mangaka Araki Hirohiko, Taniguchi Jiro, and many others.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-95431\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/louvre-1024x710.jpg?resize=1024%2C710\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/louvre.jpg?resize=1024%2C710&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/louvre.jpg?resize=300%2C208&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/louvre.jpg?resize=768%2C532&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/louvre.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/louvre.jpg?w=3000&amp;ssl=1 3000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Photo<\/strong>: \u677e\u672c\u5927\u6d0b\u30fb\u300e\u30eb\u30fc\u30a6\u3099\u30eb\u306e\u732b\u300f<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 4\/15 (Sat.) ~ 5\/28 (Sun.)
