Introduction
Ever since 2008 when I was in 5th grade, I have been learning how to play “ErHu”(which is also called “Chinese Violin”)--one of the traditional instrument in China. Erhu is a kind of violin which belongs to the “huqin” family, and it is said that it was originated from Mongol in Tang Dynasty (618-907). [1] Erhu is a really popular instrument in China, everyone knew it. However, when I came to Japan in 2012, I was astonished that people didn’t even recognize the existence of Erhu. I thought it was really regrettable that the popularity of Erhu is inferior in Japan than in China, therefore I decided to choose a topic to raise people’s awareness of “Chinese Violin”.
The reason for me to choose the form of “manga” for my personal project was fairly simple. “Books” have been occupying a big part of my life since my infancy, and I enjoyed reading both mangas and novels. I knew how books are important to our daily life and how it is effective when to influence people. Drawing cartoons also have been one of my favorite things to do, therefore I thought manga was the best tool for me to handle.
The Goal
The goal for my personal project was to influence people in Japan as much as I could
