Anime cel print
The cel print, from Cyborg 009 (late 1970s), shows Joe Shimamura and Francoise Arnoul in a brief pause of closeness and resolve. Their calm faces hold the balance between emotion and endurance that defines the series. The layered pigment printing preserves the warmth and color precision of the original hand-painted frame.
