Tezuka Osamu Animation Art Archives

Luxurious two-volume set in a case, totaling 800 pages (400 pages in each volume) ! This is a collection of original drawings, rough drafts, storyboards, and other valuable materials that Osamu Tezuka drew for his animations.

Most of the materials in this book were drawn by Tezuka himself, and many of them are published for the first time in books. Although the method of involvement differs from work to work, Tezuka left behind a variety of materials, ranging from rough sketches, setting drawings, image boards, layouts, storyboards, and original drawings. In addition to pictorial materials, there are also textual materials such as proposals, synopses, and scripts.

While previous books on Tezuka Osamu's animation materials have mainly contained textual information and many of the illustrations have been in black and white, this book will, in principle, be in color. With the exception of image boards, which are drawn in color to share the world of the work, most of the animation-related materials are black-and-white line drawings, but some of them are colored or have instructions written in red or blue. By presenting them in color, the discoloration caused by aging and the marks left by corrections can be appreciated as part of the texture of the original drawings.


Main contents of volume 1
Contains original drawings, setting drawings, storyboards, and other valuable materials related to TV animation works from the 1960s and early 1970s, including "Astro Boy, " Japan's first half-hour TV series, "Jungle Emperor, " "Knight of the Ribbon, " and others.


Main contents of Volume 2
Contains valuable materials related to TV animation works from the late 1970s to the 1980s, two-hour long animated specials broadcast on NTV's "24-Hour TV, " feature-length works for theaters, pilot versions made for project proposals, experimental works, and more.
