About the Event

Sunny will introduce Hokusai, the artist who coined the word "manga." He will share the origins of his characters - Kappa, Lucky Cat, Daruma, and Kokeshi - and the steps he took to design them for his books. Audience members can draw their own manga characters during the workshop.

This program was made possible with the generous support of the Library Foundation of Los Angeles.
