SWORD ART ONLINE — Dual-Signed Shikishi | Reki Kawahara & abec | 2013 Dengeki Bunko 20th Anniversary Exhibition | Beckett Authentication (BAS)

an exceptionally rare, dual-signed shikishi (Japanese autograph board) from the 大電撃文庫展 — Dai Dengeki Bunko Exhibition, held on May 6, 2013, celebrating Dengeki Bunko’s 20th Anniversary.

The dual-signature combination of both the author and illustrator — from a single ticketed event in 2013 — makes this an unusually scarce piece. Beckett-certified anime creator autographs of this caliber rarely surface on the Western market.

SIGNATURES

This board carries two authentic signatures:

• Reki Kawahara (川原礫) — author of Sword Art Online, signed with his signature and pen name “peki”

• abec — the official illustrator of the Sword Art Online light novel series, signed “あbec!”

Both creators also wrote personal messages in Japanese, including “ありがとう！” (Thank you!).

AUTHENTICATION

This shikishi has been independently authenticated by Beckett Authentication Services (BAS) — the gold standard in autograph verification. The BAS hologram sticker and QR code are affixed to the front of the board.
