Description:
This is an authentic set of 4 vintage production cels from the legendary anime Urusei Yatsura, created by Rumiko Takahashi. The set features Ryunosuke Fujinami (藤波竜之介) and her father, both beloved characters whose comedic father-daughter relationship is among the highlights of the series.

Title: Urusei Yatsura

Characters: Ryunosuke Fujinami (藤波竜之介) & her father

Medium: Original Animation Cels (4 pieces)

Condition: Overall good for their age. Minor signs of wear and age are present. As the four cels were stacked together for a long time, there are adhesion marks between cel-to-cel and cel-to-paper (please see photos). Light traces of aging are natural for production-used cels and do not detract from the artwork’s visual impact.

Era: Authentic vintage items from 1980s anime production

Vintage Item Notice:
These are original, hand-painted production cels used over 30 years ago. Due to their vintage nature, slight wear, paint fading, or adhesion traces may be visible. Please review the photos carefully. These characteristics are typical of genuine vintage cels and emphasize their authenticity and rarity.

Expert’s Insight:
Cels from Urusei Yatsura are highly sought after by collectors worldwide, especially those featuring prominent characters such as Ryunosuke and her father, whose interactions provided some of the most memorable comedic moments of the series.

Unlike modern reproductions, each cel is a one-of-a-kind artifact that directly contributed to the making of the anime. Collectors value these pieces not only as nostalgic treasures but also as cultural assets tied to the golden age of Japanese animation.

Collector’s & Investment Value:
In recent years, the global anime cel market has seen a sharp rise in demand and prices, with vintage cels from iconic series like Urusei Yatsura becoming increasingly scarce. Sets featuring major characters are especially desirable, as they allow collectors to own a direct piece of anime history. This makes them not only a passion-driven acquisition but also a sound investment whose value is expected to appreciate further.

Shipping & Handling:
We ship worldwide from Japan using insured and trackable services. All items are professionally packed to ensure safe delivery. Import duties or customs fees are the buyer’s responsibility. Delivery may take time depending on your location. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Insurance Notice:
Please be aware that in many cases, insurance does not cover damage unless the main item itself is broken. For instance, damage to the wooden box or frame without damage to the main item is typically not covered. If such a case occurs, please contact your local shipping carrier directly. Of course, I will also reach out to the shipping company on my side.

Recently, incidents of damage during shipping have increased. I take great care in packing each item to prevent this, which may result in higher shipping costs. Please understand this is necessary to protect both the buyer and seller. Thank you for your understanding and kindness.
