He also mentions how Japan developed a very different relation to space and time in their visual language of comics. Notably there is the technique where certain scenes do not have frame borders on the side of the edges, as if to imply that the scene is unbound and extending forever beyond the paper, just outside our view. This is not unusual in Western comics now too, but it originated from Japanese manga. Given the concept of "Ma" it makes a lot more sense now that this technique was first developed in Japan.
