Abstract
The article discusses the history of Japanese manga, covering the period from the 6th century AD to the present day, and its relationship to the art of the Land of the Cherry Blossoms. In the course of the discussion, attention is drawn to the exaggerated refinement of the roots of pictorial stories among their researchers. The article also demonstrates that the factors most influential on the birth of manga were the rise of the press, exposure to Europeans in the 19th century, occupation of Japan by the United States and American pop culture. The paper further discusses the etymology of the word manga and pays attention to its ambiguity.
