Description

This is a very rare piece. It is the first time I have seen original art by Japanese superstar manga-ka Junji Ito outside of the artist's holdings. I have seen an exhibition of his pages in Italy and have seen a few dedications he has done but never a finished piece in the wild. It is my understanding that this art was used as part of the title page for the fourth chapter of Tomie, one of his many horror masterpieces. It is not in the published English edition but perhaps showed up in earlier Japanese printings. Regardless, published or not, I am super happy to be adding this one to my collection. On the back are some notes and a gorgeous signature by Ito-san.

The top portion is a seasonal greeting to a friend with an apology for using used paper to write a note. The lower portion states that this is the upper portion of some art for Tomie and his signature.

Very nice as the blank eyes are sign of some ghostly possession!

I love the photo film design of this piece and the fact that the white eyed girl looks like a typical killer child from a horror movie. The signature on back is beautiful, so that's a really nice bonus and all the rest of that Japanese writing is great too. Timothy Finney, please tell us what it says. Arigatou gozaimasu!

Absolutely incredible! "Grail" gets tossed around a lot but a piece from Ito is unobtanium and any would be a true grail to a fan of his work. I adore everything he does and this is just outstanding. Congrats!
