Visiting the Great Masters of Japanese Animation - Osamu Tezuka Memorial Hall in Takarazuka City

Osamu Tezuka Memorial Hall in Takarazuka City

Osamu Tezuka spent his youth in Takarazuka City. With the goal of widely diffusing and passing down the great accomplishments of Tezuka to future generations, Takarazuka City founded this Memorial Hall built on the theme of 'love of nature and the preciousness of life' in 1994. At the entrance, there stands a monument of "The Phoenix", his life's work. Inside the Memorial Hall, a page from Tezuka's works is reproduced, and valuable materials are on display. There is also a Hi-Vision Theater where you can watch original anime films, and areas where you can read manga and experience producing anime. You will be able to see, touch and feel the world of Osamu Tezuka.
