Design drawings for Yamato<\/em>. Based on Leiji Matsumoto’s rough design, Kazutaka Miyatake of Studio Nue put together the design, and together with Naoyuki Kato and Kenichi Matsuzaki of the same studio, he drew numerous exterior and interior structure settings.<\/p>\n

Yamato<\/em>, which is the title mecha, had over 150 drawings for the design alone, and was meticulously detailed, something that had never been seen before in the anime of that era. This gave it not only the appeal of its exterior design, but also a strong sense of the reality of a space battleship.<\/p>\n

This TV monitor showed the 1974 Yamato<\/em> pilot film on a continuous loop.<\/p>\n

The first “caution” sign was seen at the end of this room. Three of these were spread around near floor fixtures with each character saying some version of “watch your step” in their own particular style.<\/p>\n

After the first few days, these directional signs were added to ease navigation through the exhibition space. Shima was the natural choice.<\/p>\n
