Attendance at the Japanese Pavilion were treated to a new gallery of the most often called "Animal Spirited" which shows how to embed the culture of Japanese anime characters to inspire them.
From one of the key displays within Spirited Beasts reads:
For centuries, heroic animals and magical creatures have appeared in traditional Japanese myths, stories, and art. Today, they are the heroes and villians of Japan's manga comics and anime. These "spirited beasts" from Japan's past have become pop culture superstars, known and loved around the world.
