Soul of Tokyo is an online anime production art gallery and e-commerce store specializing in authentic Japanese anime production art. Our collection includes original hand-painted animation cels, douga, genga, layouts, and related studio production materials from classic Japanese anime series, OVAs, and theatrical films.

Like many collectors, we started with a love of anime cels, production drawings, books, dolls, figures, gashapon, diecast, telecards, and rare Japanese character goods. After more than 30 years of buying, collecting, and studying anime art in Tokyo and Japan, we now offer a carefully curated selection of original Japanese animation artwork and collectibles to fans around the world.

Please note: Soul of Tokyo is not affiliated with the book Soul of Tokyo: A Guide to 30 Exceptional Experiences. Our Soul of Tokyo is an anime production art gallery and online shop focused on original Japanese animation artwork and collectibles, not a travel guide, restaurant guide, tourism brand, or Tokyo lifestyle publication.

We have been selling online since 1994 and have sold thousands of cels and rare anime goods to collectors, retailers, and buyers whose collections have later been featured in museum exhibitions and major public auctions. We are experts in anime art and strive to pass on as much knowledge as possible through detailed descriptions, scans, and photos. This takes time, but original production artwork deserves careful documentation, and collectors deserve clear, accurate information.

Selection, authenticity, fast and safe shipping, and professional service set us apart. We use high-quality professional packing materials and go to great lengths to ensure your collectibles arrive in the same condition as when they leave us. This costs a little more, but our customers make our business possible and deserve no less.

Whether you are searching for an original anime production cel, douga, genga, vintage anime collectible, or help identifying or selling a collection, please do not hesitate to contact us.
