The artwork is presented in a custom frame featuring an elegant pearl-white mat and a gold nameplate, enhancing its refined presence and highlighting the beauty of the piece.

On the back of each frame, you will find not only a handwritten signature by Akemi Takada, but also your personalized name, along with a hand-drawn rough sketch of Madoka Ayukawa’s eyes—making every piece truly one of a kind.

Each print is carefully finished by skilled artisans, who apply pearlescent pigment by hand to create a subtle shimmer that changes with the viewing angle, adding depth and a luminous quality to the artwork.

This is a special-edition piece worthy of the 40th anniversary, offering a truly premium art experience.
