As seen in the animated film:
Hiroshi Ohno (大野広司) is the art director of the animated film Kiki's Delivery Service, and an excellent artist, with some of the most iconic paintings depicting the film's many landscapes and backgrounds.
Director of Studios FUGA, Hiroshi Ohno also worked as art director for Hiroyuki Okiura on the film Letter to Momo (2011) and for Mamoru Hosoda on the film The Wolf Children, Ame & Yuki. In 2015, he was also the art director for Keiichi Hara's Miss Hokusai, which won the Jury Prize at the Annecy Animation Festival.
This print is published by Galerie Riekeles in collaboration with the artist and Kodansha. It is a high-quality reproduction, as faithful as possible to the original work, accurately rendering down to the smallest detail the breathtaking landscapes and backgrounds that helped make the anime from which they are taken internationally successful.
