ABOUT MANABU’S UNDERWATER KNEE SOCKS
Saranne Richter
Manabu’s photographic series: Underwater knee socks has reached a wide success in Japan namely due to the rich otaku cultural content of his work. His aesthetic is deeply inspired by the underground yet, vastly expanded network of anime and manga. Anyone remotely familiar with the otaku culture can easily grasp Manabu’s inspiration. In a sense, his pictures are so incredible because they offer a dimension of reality to the extreme and virtual world of animation. While reading manga and admiring its character, we are often faced with surreal situation, such as flying futuristic devices or underwater worlds. Manabu uses water to break gravity and create another dimension, where his underwater dolls/muses can strive. Manga fans do not expect these two-dimension fetishized woman to suddenly take a human form. While there is a clear reference to Cosplay culture, Manabu’s picture borrows the popular activity and pushes it to the extremes. It is extremely realistic, and offers the viewer the experience of having that ounce of imagination separates these imaginary characters and real woman offered to their gazes.
The culture of anime “cartoon characters” stories could appear childish at first glance. However, the root of anime culture can be traced as far back as Hokusai, deemed the father of modern manga with some of his ukiyo-e clearly indicating a story line and consisting of a brute form of manga. Moreover, the modern anime origin resides in post-world war censorship applied to Japanese society by American occupation. During the American grip on the country, war movies and explicit pornography was banned in japan, which in fact gave birth to erocom genre (erotic manga) and space robotic battle genre, championed by Gundam. A series so popular in japan that the Odaiba centre erected a real life, 18-meter-tall interactive statue of the robot during winter 2016. Manabu credibility also rest on the fact that he was involved in the making of this historical Tv-show, Gundam as a member of the creative direction of character design. In a sense, it is difficultly deniable that anime are an integral part of Japanese culture.
The Japanese culture has often been accused of being either childish or a mere reproduction of western ideals. In the same way, this radicalisation has similarly been accused of being too flat, two dimensional or to be without substance. In a sense, this quintessentially Japanese tradition can be seen as a bold move on the contemporary scene to impose Japanese value on the market as valuable and unique. The greatest example of this cultural break, is headed by Murakami who shamelessly presents the international scene, anime characters and unassuming character design with quite some success. Manabu uses his previous experience in design and essentially Japanese modernist aesthetic to create his surrealistic futuristic kawaii imaginaries, reminding one of cyber-punk.
His design uses clear references to his previous work by including robotic elements, from breathing devices to electronic limbs, effectively creating beautifully surreal android woman. He uses underwater as a background in which his characters evolve but also as mean to counter-act gravity and create this seamless floating effect. In his photographic series, he transposes the underwater picture to Harajuku streets. The effect is stunning and transforms the reality perceived by the viewer while also capturing somehow the atmosphere of this part of town. Walking down these streets and crossing the colourfully and inventively dressed up youth, one would just merely be surprised if they started gravitating as they are in Manabu’s photography.

GO DIVE by Manabu Koga
"The girl in the water is loved, sad, fleeting. Once she comes out of the water, she is no longer the girl who was in the water. In the short time that she held her breath or the time she was breathing air from the scuba tank, she was a girl who could only exist in the water. Whether this is reality or fantasy, I dive in to meet them.
水の中の女の子は愛しく切なく儚いのです。水の外に出てしまうと彼女たちは水の 中の女の子ではなくなります。息をとめているわずかな時間、もしくはスクーバタン クの空気を呼吸している時間、水の中でしか存在できない女の子なのです。それは 現実なのか空想なのか。彼女たちに出会うためにダイブするのです。"
