Kiki's Delivery Service (Original Cel/Douga) Catalog Entry

This item is a catalog entry displaying an image and details for what appears to be an animation cel or similar artwork from the Japanese animated film 'Kiki's Delivery Service'. The visible page is from a professionally produced catalog, likely a collector's or appraisal guide for animation art. The image on the page depicts the main character, Kiki, with her signature black bob haircut, a large red bow in her hair, and a yellow package clutched to her chest, set against a bright blue sky with white clouds. The character is rendered in the distinct animation style associated with Studio Ghibli. The image is framed by a white matting effect printed on the page, which is then surrounded by a printed wood grain texture, simulating a framed piece of art. Below the image, textual information is provided: 'Size: 220mm x 352mm (8.7" x 13.9")', 'Specifications: Original cel/douga', 'Year of release: 1989', 'Director: Hayao Miyazaki', 'Production Studio: Studio Ghibli', and 'Special Note: Background image is not original'. There also appears to be supporting Japanese text annotations. The catalog page itself is clean, with no visible tears, creases, or significant wear. The printing quality appears high, suggesting a professional publication. The edges of the page are crisp, and the binding is visible on the left side, indicating it is part of a larger book. The item's age is tied to the 'Year of release' of the cel itself (1989), but the catalog's publication date is not specified, though it would be subsequent to 1989. The overall presentation indicates a high-quality reference material for animation art.
