Animation is an essential and important aspect of the Japanese government’s “”Cool Japan Strategy,”” which promotes the appeal of Japan to the rest of the world. Japanese animation has received high praise internationally, and is one of the most popular aspects of Japanese culture shared around the world.

This program provides students from Hong Kong an opportunity to learn about the new appeal of anime through lectures on the origins of anime, 3DCG, and how to draw and move character designs. Lectures will be given by Hideo Watabe, a specially appointed lecturer at the University of Tokyo, who has been a leading figure in the animation industry for many years as an animation director, director and animator. In addition, through visits to the anime museum, our university facilities, and exchange with Japanese students, we provide programs that allow participants to recall how they relate to anime in concrete terms. By participating in this program, you can expect to study anime at Japanese universities and companies, or get a job in the anime industry in the future.

 

日本政府が掲げる「クールジャパン戦略」における、日本の魅力を海外に発信するさまざまな施策のうち、アニメーション(以下、アニメ)は欠かすことのできない重要なテーマである。現在、日本のアニメは海外から高い評価を受けており、日本が世界に誇る先端的な文化の一つであると言える。

本プログラムでは、香港から招へいする学生が、アニメの起源や3DCGに関する講義、キャラクターデザインの描き方や動かし方などを体験することで、アニメの新たな魅力を知る機会となることを目的とする。講義は、長年アニメ監督・演出やアニメーターを担当してきた業界の第一人者である本学の渡部英雄特任講師が担当する。他にもアニメミュージアムの見学や、本学施設見学および日本人学生との交流を通して、参加者にアニメとの関わり方を具体的に想起できるプログラムを提供する。本プログラムへの参加を通して、将来的には日本の大学や企業でアニメに関する研究、もしくはアニメ業界への就職をすることが期待できる。
