Anime magazine partners with Studio Ghibli for archival displays, a collaboration cafe menu, and reissued bonus merch for sale.
Lovers of classic animation can rejoice because the Animage and Ghibli Exhibition – Ghibli Began from the Pages of One Magazine event is being held from April 15 through May 5 at the Matsuya Ginza department store in Tokyo.
Animage is a Japanese anime and entertainment magazine which began publication in 1978. Hayao Miyazaki‘s Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind manga was serialized in Animage between 1982-1994 and was quickly adapted into the classic 1984 anime film. Its success paved the way for the 1985 founding of Studio Ghibli by Miyazaki and three others, including Toshio Suzuki, who served as the magazine’s editor from the late 1970s-1980s and was instrumental in getting the Nausicaä anime greenlit.

The limited-time exhibition in Tokyo’s Ginza neighborhood showcases countless pre-Ghibli and Ghibli-themed issues of Animage as well as other materials pulled from the archives of the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Tokyo.
An audio guide navigator for visitors was also recorded by none other than Nausicaä’s original Japanese voice actor, Sumi Shimamoto, who provides commentary on highlights of the exhibition, behind-the-scenes trivia, and famous quotes by Nausicaä and Clarisse from The Castle of Cagliostro (1979), whom she also voiced in Miyazaki’s film directorial debut.

Prolific Japanese sculptor Takayuki Takeya of Kamen Rider fame was tasked with creating a life-sized version of the blue garb worn by Nausicaä, complete with her Shohki mask and rifle to protect herself when in the Sea of Decay [Toxic Jungle].

One of the highlights for visitors is no doubt the special tie-in menu at the on-site collaboration cafe. The cafe offers a total of six dishes based on two pre-Ghibli films closely associated with the studio, one Ghibli film, as well as the studio’s latest release. It’s open from 10:30 a.m.-8 p.m. with last orders being taken at 7 p.m.
