Sale price€336,95 EUR

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout


This art print is from the illustration for the poster attached in ‘Tsukasa Hojo’s illustrations’ published in 1991.

This art print series was created for the “Cat’s♥Eye 40th Anniversary Original Art Exhibition - And to City Hunter” exhibit held in Tokyo in May 2022.
Each print has 380 editions (regular edition: 200, international edition: 180), all signed by Tsukasa Hojo himself.
The international editions are developed in mixed media, using both giclée (water-based pigments) and UV printers (UV curing ink) for an exquisite expression of color and texture.
The art prints have the same image size as the original pieces.

Comments from Tsukasa Hojo
When I was working on these manga series, for my color pages, I was told to avoid colors with a purple tinge or blue and pinks that were close to purple because those shades were hard to print in the magazines. But I would use them anyway.
At the time, available printing technologies could not convey some of my unique colors. Now, 40 years later, advancements in printing mean colors and shades from the original can be replicated. These art prints carry the colors that I used precisely, and even the color of the paper is almost identical to the original; it is hard to tell the art print from the original at a glance.
I am delighted that these quality art prints can find their way to you.

On the Art Print, from EDITION88
Each City Hunter print is hand sprayed with pearlescent paint.
The art prints have a luminosity that shifts with the viewer’s perspective, displaying depth.

The gradation from the red of the sunset to the deep blue of the night sky is beautiful, and the green buildings against the night sky are striking. The green in the outline of the main character is an important color that we carefully matched the colors with the original. To bring out the beauty of the starry sky, we sprayed a thin coat of pearlescent paint over the entire image to give it a three-dimensional effect.
