Leiji Matsumoto : Signed Shikishi Board “My Youth in Arcadia” Captain Harlock / Albator (1982)

Offered here is an authentic Japanese shikishi board featuring artwork from the universe of legendary manga and anime creator Leiji Matsumoto. The board depicts Captain Harlock (known as Albator), the iconic space pirate hero created by Matsumoto. The illustration captures the character’s distinctive profile and facial scar, rendered in the unmistakable minimalist style associated with the artist.

The lower right corner bears the Japanese title わが青春のアルカディア (Waga Seishun no Arcadia / My Youth in Arcadia), referencing the 1982 anime film that tells the origins of Captain Harlock and forms a central part of Matsumoto’s shared science-fiction universe.

The illustration appears as a printed design on a traditional shikishi, enhanced by a handwritten signature by Leiji Matsumoto at the top of the board.

Shikishi boards are traditional Japanese autograph boards made of rigid card with a distinctive gold-trimmed edge, historically used by manga artists and illustrators for dedications, sketches, and promotional artwork. Because of this, they are highly collectible among anime and manga enthusiasts.
