We would like to inform you that after discussion and further investigation we have concluded that item number 3605,"Keiko Takemiya Hand-Drawn Color Illustration", was not in fact hand-drawn by Keiko Takemiya. The person who brought it in was Takemiya's assistant in the past and the quality of the picture it was undeniable high that our appraisal of authenticity was not as detailed as it should have been. Some customers have already bid on this item, but those bids will be cancelled. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused to those who were looking forward to it due to our mistake.

We will make further efforts to improve so that such a thing will never happen again. We hope you continue to enjoy the auction and the Daimansai Festival.
