From: Dororo (1969), Episode 7 This piece is an authentic original one-of-a-kind Japanese animation cel, hand-painted by studio artists at Mushi Production and used directly in the creation of the anime Dororo. As an original production material, this artwork is unique, with no duplicates in existence. Created for internal studio use under the direction of Mushi Production during the original broadcast production period around 1969. A Certificate of Authenticity will be included with your purchase. This original animation cel features Dororo, depicted in a dramatic action moment enhanced by hand-painted effects, characteristic of Mushi Production’s experimental and expressive animation style during the late 1960s. Original cels from Dororo are particularly scarce and highly sought after due to the series’ historical importance and limited surviving production materials from this era. 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, vinegar syndrome, or other minor imperfections may be present. Buyers are encouraged to examine all images carefully prior to bidding.
