10 Japanese Books That Were Turned Into Movies

"Japan's rich literary history has been an infinite source of inspiration for moviemakers. From manga to historical journals to dramatic epics to contemporary science fiction masterpieces, works written by Japanese authors span the spectrum. The number of popular films, both live-action and animated, derived from Japanese books is much larger than many audiences may realize. The films on this list highlight 10 book adaptions from Japanese sources. Some are English-language remakes, while others are Japanese through and through, showcasing the culture and land. Whimsical, terrifying, and erotic, the films below explore the common themes and histories that affect all of us."
