Two years before this milestone, author Katsuhiro Otomo worked with artist Kosuke Kawamura to enrobe a Tokyo city block in a collage of gripping moments from the manga that revolutionized an art form.

Rounding out the box is a dramatic, 16.5x23.4-inch poster. In this form, Kawamura''s recontextualization of Otomo''s manga is reminiscent of traditional Japanese emaki (picture scrolls), the narrative scrolls that some scholars see as manga''s most ancient ancestors. Don''t miss this change to own a singular artifact in the history of anime and manga. Contains  •  Scroll 1: Oct. 25, 2017-May 15, 2018. 29.3 feet (8.94 meters).  •  Scroll 2: May 16, 2018-Feb. 27, 2019. 22.6 feet (6.88 meters).  •  Scroll 3: Feb. 28, 2019-Aug. 8, 2019. 22.6 feet (6.88 meters).  •  430 x 607 mm poster  •  52-page hardcover catalog book including new interviews with Katsuhiro Otomo and Kosuke Kawamura and photographs by TAKAMURADAISUKE  •  Rigid, silver cold foil-wrapped box
