Tokyo-based UMAA has created stunning 'Ghost in the Shell' byobu (Japanese changing screens) as part of their TechnoByobu series. The screens feature Major Motoko Kusanagi in two designs: 'Konpaku' and 'Gitai', showcasing artwork by Masamune Shirow and designs from the 1995 film.
Crafted with gold leaf and pressed tin, these 150cm-long screens embody Japanese artistic tradition. Each numbered screen costs 1.1 million yen (US$7,190) and measures 140cm tall.
