Osamu Tezuka - Astro Boy (Shonen, 1952-1968), "Astro Boy" Signed Shikishi with Original Art. Vintage original shikishi autograph board measuring 10.75" x 9.5" with a gold trim border and featuring an inked illustration of the famous super-powered android, Astro Boy, signed and dated "1983" by the legendary manga artist, Osamu Tezuka. Created as a manga series in 1952 by Tezuka, Astro Boy is considered the progenitor of the globally popular Japanese art-form known as anime; the first to embody the design and ethos of the massive artistic movement including the trademark large eyes that took inspiration from early Walt Disney animation. Astro Boy (known in Japan as Tetsuwan Atom) paved the way for countless anime titles after it and is acknowledged by many animation historians to be one of the most culturally significant cartoons in the history of animation. Displays general wear and age. Comes with a COA issued by the owner of private collection.
