[What is ART OF GHIBLI]
Animation works of Studio Ghibli were produced by combining background pictures and cell pictures until "Princess Mononoke" released in 1997. Currently, animation is not produced using this method, so cel animation that gives you a sense of the warmth that is unique to hand-drawn lines and coloring is extremely valuable.
"ART OF GHIBLI" pays homage to old-fashioned animation production, incorporating its history and passion into its products. You can feel the delicate creativity and quality of the "Cell Setup", which combines the background image reproduced with digital printing technology and the cel image created by silk printing, and the "Art Frame", which prints many famous scenes with advanced technology. We have a selection of excellent products.

What is Animage and Ghibli Exhibition?
A magazine that connects creators and viewers <br /> This exhibition focuses on the 1980s, from when the magazine Animage (Tokuma Shoten) was first published in 1978. More than 40 years ago, there was a time when animation made a big leap forward. Works of "Space Battleship Yamato" and "Mobile Suit Gundam" that young anime fans were enthusiastic about. Animage is a magazine that conveys the raw words of its creators. The catch-ball between creators and viewers through magazines has brought about the prosperity of Japanese animation that continues to this day.
Magazines where I met Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki Animage, which has found many anime creators, meets the talents of these two. Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki. The movie "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" was born from the serialization of "Animage". Studio Ghibli's first work, "Laputa: Castle in the Sky," is a new place to create works that we can be satisfied with. And to "Grave of the Fireflies" and "My Neighbor Totoro" directed by both Takahata and Miyazaki. Despite being a magazine, Animage continued to publish the works of these two artists and convey their words to those who saw them.
Another story of how Studio Ghibli was born There was once a time when magazine production and animation film production were very close. In this exhibition, we will look back on the role that the magazine Animage played in the birth and development of many anime works through a wealth of magazine exhibits and valuable production materials. This shows that the creators of Animage launched Studio Ghibli with the same spirit, and continue to deliver their works to this day.
●About Animage
