On March 5, 2005, a museum dedicated to animation opened in Tokyo. Japan is the world's largest exporter of anime (animated films). Anime is created in some 400 studios throughout the country, and more than 70 of these are concentrated in Tokyo's Suginami Ward, making this area a true "anime city." The Suginami Animation Museum, which symbolizes the district's anime prowess, provides visitors with a unique opportunity to have a go at making anime themselves.
