Kingdom Exhibition in Okinawa in 2024: JapanResell's Founding Manga ⚔️
Yasuhisa Hara's celebrated historical manga, Kingdom, was a major inspiration for JapanResell. This masterpiece, which chronicles Shin's rise to fame in Warring States period China, continues to captivate millions of readers worldwide.
Published in Weekly Young Jump (Shueisha) since 2006, Kingdom vividly depicts the dreams of greatness of an orphaned boy who becomes a general, ready to unite all of China under one banner. “During the Warring States era, ordinary young men like Shin dreamed of reaching the heights of power by wielding their swords and determination.”
In April 2024, we traveled to Okinawa in person to attend the final date of the Kingdom exhibition. A highly symbolic moment for JapanResell, a chance to meet the work that gave birth to our project.
This visit had a special meaning for us: it was thanks to Kingdom that we, the two partners of JapanResell, met. A shared passion for this universe, its values and its history was the starting point of our entrepreneurial adventure.
