History Bits

Edo-period prints popularized bold shapes and dramatic poses—perfect DNA for JoJo’s flair. Family crests (家紋, kamon) reduce animals and plants to crisp geometry. You can feel that design spirit in modern manga layouts.

  • 波 (nami) wave patterns ⇢ motion + impact frames
  • 季語 (kigo) seasonal words ⇢ chapter mood & titles
  • Meiji posters ⇢ typography that screams “ORA ORA”
