Hirohiko Araki's Limited Art Print Collection on JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Launching Soon
Hirohiko Araki, the genius behind the iconic manga series "JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure," has announced the release of an exclusive collection of art prints, available only on mangaart.jp. This art print collection commemorates the "JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure manga art exhibition / 2025-2026," featuring a stunning first edition with a limited double cover. The collection includes nine original lithograph artworks created specifically for the exhibition, which had its premiere at the Minnesota Street Project in San Francisco in September 2025. This was followed by a display at the Higashi Hongan-ji Temple in Kyoto for the Art Collaboration Kyoto (ACK) 2025 event in November and will culminate in an exhibition at the Shueisha Manga Art Heritage Tokyo Gallery in Azabudai Hills, Tokyo in January 2026. In May 2026, the works will also be shown at the "PERSONAL STRUCTURES" exhibition at the Palazzo Bembo in Venice, during the Venice Biennale.
Fans have eagerly anticipated these exhibitions, lining up before the doors opened. The staff in Venice were particularly amazed at the long lines, stating it was the first time they had seen such enthusiasm for an exhibition within a palace setting. The experience of viewing the lithograph prints within the unique atmosphere and light of each venue has captivated attendees. Additionally, the lenticular artworks, which create an illusion of three-dimensional stands, were received with astonishment and excitement.
To allow even more fans to engage with these unique pieces of art, a visual collection capturing close-up photographs of the lithograph prints, as well as images from the exhibitions across four cities, has been produced. This collection also includes pre-printed versions of the lithographs and a portrait of Hirohiko Araki during the creative process, adding a personal touch.
Photographs showcasing the exhibitions in Kyoto, Tokyo, and Venice were taken by Naoki Honjō, renowned for his aerial photos that often present installations in a miniature-like perspective. His unique style captures the depth and space of the exhibits brilliantly, allowing viewers to experience the artwork in an innovative way.
In conjunction with the release of the art collection, an interview with Hirohiko Araki conducted in Venice will be made available, where he reflects on his journey: "I believe that JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has traveled across the sea to reach Venice over 40 years." Araki's reflections reveal his deep feelings toward Italy and its influence on his work.
The collection is scheduled to be available for pre-order starting August 24, 2026, through the Shueisha Manga Art Heritage (SMAH) website. To ensure as many fans as possible can enjoy it, orders will be limited to two copies per person. Customers should note that the photographs used in promotions are samples from the production phase and might have variations in color and other details before the final release.
