Kyoto Animation Exhibition Displays 70 Surviving Art Pieces

The Imai Shoten Group Center book store in Matsue city in Shimane prefecture is hosting an exhibition of 70 pieces of original art by Kyoto Animation which survived the deadly arson attack on the studio on the 18th of July this year.

The exhibition is located in the STUDIO WONDER part of the store, with five original pieces of art (from series such as Free! and Sound! Euphonium) being on display attached with messages from Kyoto Animation directors. The Asahi Shimbun explains that a lot of the artwork was supposed to have been sent prior to the arson attack, but the materials were sent and delivered afterward.

The surviving original content was housed in a separate location to the site of the arson attack and thus managed to avoid any damage – entry into the exhibition will be completely free of charge until August 31st.

The store has also set up a donation box inside the exhibition venue for those wishing to aid Kyoto Animation’s recovery efforts.
