Shueisha Manga Art Heritage is bringing ONE PIECE / The Scroll 弍, an art print by Eiichiro Oda, to the Shueisha Manga Art Heritage Tokyo Gallery in Azabudai Hills from July 8, 2026. The work is printed on handmade Echizen washi paper using the collotype process — a 19th-century photomechanical printing technique known for producing impressions that last more than a century.
ONE PIECE / The Scroll 弍
ONE PIECE / The Scroll 弍 is the second work in "The Scroll" series, in which large horizontal illustrations are reproduced on washi paper using collotype printing.
The source work is "大海賊百景," a panoramic illustration Oda drew for Weekly Shonen Jump issues 39 through 41 of 2021, created to commemorate the 1,000th chapter of ONE PIECE. The illustration features characters who ranked highly in the first ONE PIECE World Character Popularity Poll — WORLD TOP100 — which was held worldwide that year. Connecting all three magazine spreads side by side reveals a single expansive image.
The print was first shown publicly at the Benrido Collotype Gallery in Kyoto in 2025, and is now travelling to Azabudai Hills for its Tokyo premiere.

Handmade Echizen Washi Paper
The paper used for this series is handmade washi from Iwano Heizaburo Papermaking, a mill established in 1865 during the final years of the Edo period. In the Meiji era, the mill's founder developed "Kumohada Mashi," a paper prized by painters including Taikan Yokoyama. The mill — Japan's only large-format hand-papermaking factory — remains active today under the fourth generation, producing sheets exceeding three metres in length using traditional materials.

Collotype Printing
Collotype is considered the oldest photomechanical printing technique still in practical use, and historical evidence shows that images produced by this method remain stable for more than a century. It continues to be used today to document restoration work at Kyoto temples and shrines. Benrido, established in Kyoto in 1887, is the only workshop in the world that still produces full-colour collotype prints. The workshop — which has undertaken projects such as full-scale photography of the wall paintings of Horyuji Temple — handled all platemaking and printing for this work. To faithfully reproduce the vivid colours of Oda's pirates, 23 plates were used per sheet of paper — more than five times the number used in ordinary commercial printing — resulting in 69 plates across the three sheets, making this an unprecedented print project.
