Second Installation of our exhibition at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens.

Don’t miss our grand opening on 13 July 2024. We have a couple of new releases coming up and exciting discounts of 10% online and 20% in our new physical gallery!

We teamed up with Grafill Animation + Motion Design and Fredrikstad Animation Festival in Norway to present our first showcase of all our high-grade solegraphs in one place.

Cut no. 2211 is the last “realistic” background for AKIRA and presents the feature’s final view of the ruins of Neo Tokyo. Here are pictures and information on some details of this shot.

Installation views of the exhibition “Cityscapes in Anime Background Art” at the Yoshiro and Yoshio Taniguchi Museum of Architecture, 17 June - 19 November 2023.

The moment that all the exhibits come together in the exhibition space is exciting! Here are impressions of the installation process at the Yoshiro and Yoshio Taniguchi Museum of Architecture.

At the Yoshiro and Yoshio Taniguchi Museum of Architecture we cannot present all the precious background artwork we would like to show. Instead of overcrowding the showcase I’ll present some of the “outtakes” here.

Preparations for our next exhibition are in full swing. The teams of the Yoshiro and Yoshio Taniguchi Museum of Architecture and Eizo Workshop are busy preparing the background artwork of Patlabor 1 & 2 by Hiromasa Ogura and Shuichi Kusamori.

Trust in the quality of our printing partner’s work is the foundation for our products. Here is a peek behind the scenes into the printer’s workshop.

16 June - 11 November 2023 at the Yoshiro and Yoshio Taniguchi Museum of Architecture, Kanazawa, Japan. Directed by Taro Igarashi, curated by Stefan Riekeles, Hiroko Myokam and the museum. In Cooperation with Kanazawa College of Art, Riekeles Gallery and Eizo Workshop G.K.

This is one of my favorite pieces of all the backgrounds I had the pleasure to work with so far. I love the color and the idea that the cityscape is somehow excavated from blurbs of blue.

Exhibition AKIRA – The Architecture of Neo Tokyo, 4 June – 4 September 2022, Tchoban Foundation. Museum for Architectural Drawing, Berlin, Germany.
