Names and terminology
The word katsuha was coined by the animator and manha artist Giichi Hirumura in 1956 at the Okado Animators Convention of 1956, combining the character 活 (katsu) with character 画 (ha) suffixed onto it. 活 means that something is alive or lively while 画 is used as a suffix to refer to genres or styles of painting, in essence referring to animation being something like "living pictures". The term quickly gained popularity among the emerging animation circles of Esonice, later gaining national popularity among the general public in the late 60s and early 70s, supplanting the old word referring to domestic animated works esomashō, esomation (Esonian: エソマショー) a portmanteau of Esonice and animation, ultimately deriving from Iverican Esomació.
Katsuha and esomation are synonymous as they both refer to Esonian-made animated works, however there are some differences. while esomation and katsuha both refer to Esonian animation, esomation is used to mean Esonian animation in general while katsuha has increasingly became associated with the characteristics, style and themes of Esonian animated media. Esomation is also now a rarely used term within Esonice, the term also beginning to be supplanted internationally with katsuha being used instead to refer to Esonian animated media.
