Today, this effort begins with a personal collection: anime art, figures, video games, artbooks, collector\u2019s editions and objects connected to works that have left their mark on several generations. The collection is the starting point. The aim is to understand what these pieces have to say, preserve their context and pass on their stories. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
