A Shop Where You Can Buy Cel Painting Supplies Opens Just 3 Minutes on Foot from Shibuya Station (Preview)
In mid-April 2025, an unmanned retail outlet for cel painting supplies, "LOPPO Art Supply," will be opening.
The location is a flat, 3-minute walk from JR Shibuya Station Shin-Minami Gate. It is a compact 4-square-meter unmanned convenience-store-style shop facing the street.
The products available include animation cels, anime colors (cel paints), simple animation peg bars, and various other small items — essentially the same lineup as our online store.
You can pick up and examine the actual products, and since we sell from in-store stock, you can purchase them right away. (The colors may also serve as a useful reference, but please note that they appear in their wet state, so they look brighter than they actually are when dry.)
Behind the Store...
We are currently working day by day toward the opening. The details of this store's DIY build are quite unique, and we plan to cover them in a separate article at a later date.
In fact, the retail space accounts for only 20% of the property's total area. That means 80% of the space lies behind the partition — but it is not a backyard storage area. So what is it? We will announce the details in due course!
It is a wonderful space even more significant than the physical store itself, and we expect preparations to be complete around the end of Golden Week. Please follow our official X account for updates — stay tuned!
