Description
Berserk "The Sword Master" Vineyard Pan Production Background by Shichiro Kobayashi (OLM, 1997). The docile Midland countryside is pictured here in this fantastic original production background from the 7th episode of the dark fantasy anime series Berserk, titled "The Sword Master." The very first shot in the episode, this rare original painting is rendered masterfully in gouache and ink on board by the late, great Shichiro Kobayashi (1932 - 2022). Responsible for the iconic still shots and Harmony setups seen throughout the series, Shichiro Kobayashi's distinctive style is on full display here. The prominent art director established Kobayashi Production in 1968, a background support studio that collaborated with such notable companies as Tokyo Movie Shinsha, Studio Pierrot, OLM, and J.C. Staff until closing its doors in 2011. This panoramic painted has been trimmed to 14.25" x 5.74" and mounted to a 15.75" x 6.5" board. The piece bears the hand-written notation "Berserk" in Japanese, and it shows overall minor handling. The Condition of this rare find is Very Good.Auction Info
