From: Urusei Yatsura (1981–1986)

This piece is an authentic original one-of-a-kind Japanese animation cel, hand-painted by studio artists at Studio Pierrot / Studio Deen and used directly in the creation of the anime Urusei Yatsura.

Created for internal studio use under the direction of Studio Pierrot / Studio Deen during the original broadcast production period of Urusei Yatsura between 1981 and 1986. A Certificate of Authenticity will be included with your purchase.

This original animation cel features Lum, the iconic alien heroine of Urusei Yatsura, depicted with her signature expressive charm against a beautifully hand-painted background. Production materials from this era are especially sought after by collectors due to the series’ cultural impact and its classic hand-painted cel animation style.

This item is presented interleaved with MicroChamber paper, an archival material used to protect artwork by reducing harmful acids and paint fumes which damage animation cels over time. We are currently the only seller in Japan offering anime cels presented in this manner.

Please note that this is a vintage item. Despite careful storage, age-appropriate wear or other minor imperfections may be present. Buyers are encouraged to examine all images carefully prior to bidding.
