From acclaimed animation director Makoto Shinkai, whose ambitious works include 5 Centimeters Per Second (2007) and The Garden of Words (2013). Intricate scenery and a story of a boy and girl who pass each other by are created in “Shinkai’s World,” which has greatly excited and influenced people throughout the industry and around the world, through beautiful colors and subtle dialogue. Director Shinkai’s long-awaited new film Your Name depicts the story of love between a boy and a girl who switch bodies with each other while asleep. The drama of the distance between them created from their connection to each other is expressed in dramatic and beautiful scale.
(excerpt from the official site)
Your Name became a massive hit after its release in Japan in August 2016, and it’s even making headlines with television broadcasts of the film that began on Jan. 3, 2018. RGB data of an exclusive illustration that captures the film’s beautiful worldview has been output using Banpresto’s exclusive output standard, CG-i (registered trademark, patent pending).
Created for “Ichiban Kuji Your Name ~Ishin Denshin~” in July 2017, which launched CG-i output, this gem was specially drawn by two members of the creative team: animation director Masayoshi Tanaka and background artist Takumi Tanji.
Limited to 300 prints, this special CG-i artwork comes framed and vividly depicts the film’s unique world.
Taki and Mitsuha sit back to back on the whimsical surface of the lake while the radiance of Comet Tiamat’s tail reflects off of them and the lake’s surface.
The complex colors and gradations of the expansive night sky that pulls the viewer in are thoroughly captured through CG-i. The print is drawn with detailed use of color that symbolizes the film’s worldview.
The main creative team behind Your Name feely used digital mediums and challenged themselves to recreate an image as it was drawn on a monitor. Witness with your own eyes the emotion and presence of this art piece that looks like it was lifted straight from a monitor.
*The following are all images of CG-i output and CMYK output for comparison.
*These are sample images using CG-i printing. The actual outcome will be perfected to better reflect the vivid saturation as seen on a monitor
With CMYK, parts of the night sky are output using a single color, whereas CG-i outputs colorful contrasts and fine gradations, allowing viewers to fully enjoy the seamless, smooth blue gradations that can’t be fully appreciated through a monitor.
CMYK output affects the entire color tone of the piece, resulting in skin color with strong reddish tones. In CG-i output, each skin color is precisely output separately to match each character. Also, when comparing CG-i to CMYK, the colors of the necktie appear darker and muted in CMYK to the point that it’s difficult to see its striped pattern.
A highlight of CG-i output is its ability to create prints that look as if light is radiating from within. With CG-i, extensive gradations in the luminance of the comet’s tail that trails through the night sky can be fully appreciated.
The CG illustration comes in a photo frame so viewers can fully appreciate the presence of this artwork output in CG-i. Simple in design, the frame features a double inner mat and backboard made of MDF, giving it an air of elegance.
The CG-i illustration is then carefully set into the frame by Bumpodo, an art supply company with 130 years of experience.

There’s nothing better than a new art print by your favorite artist or of your favorite character or show, but it’s a sad reality that much of the original color is lost during the printing process when the image gets adjusted in CMYK. Banpresto's new CG-i output for computer illustrations seeks to fight this, offering true colors from the brightest reds to the blackest blacks, and when you hold a CG-i art print in your hands, you’ll immediately know the difference!
This outstanding technique is now being used to let you really appreciate the beautiful style of Your Name like never before! From the red of Taki’s wristband and Mitsuha’s hairtie to the brilliant colors of the comet, this Your Name art print is absolutely stunning.
The print itself is 16.7” by 11.9”, and it’s fitted into a 22” by 15.9” by 0.9” frame. Only 300 of these prints are being produced, and each comes with a certificate of authenticity with a serial number. The frame itself is also produced by Bumpodo’s Framemeister, ensuring that it’ll perfectly suit the print!
