The exhibit will look at the use of art, from woodblock prints (hanga) to Japanese comic books (manga), and will also feature some rare illustrated books. Library patrons will be able to see the ways in which Japan has often relied on pictures and drawings, not only to complement the written word, but often as the entire means of telling a story.
From Hanga to Manga: The Graphic Art of Japanese Storytelling will run until Saturday, June 28 in the Toronto Reference Library's TD Gallery, 789 Yonge St. The exhibit will serve as a lead-in to Asian Heritage Month in May.
Breakfast for Learning ( www.breakfastforlearning.ca ) created the Staying Alive Board Game to help kids learn that eating well will help them to survive.
According to the game Staying Alive, players are mountaineers who are on their way to scale the Andean mountains when their plane crashes, destroying the communication gear.
Using eight Japanese anime-type characters, kids move their pieces, collecting nutritional points. The person with the most nutritional points wins.
The games and free and are available online or by calling 1-800-627-7922.
