Seeking anime ARTWORK (eg, cells) SHOP in Tokyo.
 
Hello !

Springtime has arrived here in Europe near the Alps - suddenly it is very warm after a long long winter.

Can anyone help me. I'm want to find a SHOP in Tokyo that sells the original artwork from animated films, such as Ghibli.

These are usually called "cels", for example,
A person with an amazing collection of cels:
Ghiblits from Studio Ghibli
A good online shop that has some cels:
eBay Store - studio ghibli: Takahata Isao, hayao miyazaki, Ghibli poster

I realise there are many shops in Tokyo that sell manga and anime.

Can anyone in Tokyo tell me a dealer, that specialises in original cel artwork?

(There is a lot of "reporoduction" and "museum" prints available - it is easy to buy anywhere. I am not intertested in that, I mean actual original cel artwork used to make the film.)

I am familiar with Tokyo, of course I cannot speak a word of Japanese!! (well 3 words maybe)

Well if anyone knows of a cel dealer in Tokyo, I would really appreciate it THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!

Ceci m'inquiète légèrement parce que tous les sites Web sont en japonais.

Mon conseil à toi: Vas directement à Nakano la prochaine fois que tu es au Japon !

Hello!

"anime-commit" store in Nakano -- thanks!

http://www.anime-commit.com/goods/goods_nakano_b.htm
as you say it sounds like the place to start. Thank you! I will go right there next time I am in tokyo.

Generally, it seems rather difficult to find cels from Ghibli

(from Totoro, le petite sorciere, Mimi wo Sumaseba...)

The films are getting older, and (apparently) after a certain point ghibli adopted a policy of hanging on tightly to production cels.

Thank you again.

If anyone else knows any other cel dealers in Tokyo, let me know!!

Donc, mon francais est mauvais, Sashimister - j'apprend le français deux mois! Desole, pardon!

Cordialment, John
