The auctioned works are currently on display at Theodora Ozaki's Former Residence in Tokyo.
On New Year's Day and April 3, Noto Peninsula, Japan and Hualien City, Taiwan were devastated by powerful earthquakes. While life is slowly returning to normal, both places still need help. Many people and companies have stepped up to help, and from August 23 to September 30, Theodora Ozaki's Former Residence in Tokyo teamed up with a stellar list of manga artists and Monobank to run a charity to help residents of Noto Peninsula and Hualien City.

Following the announcement, the museum posted 40 original illustrations on display at the exhibition:
While it's not explicitly stated, it appears that the charity auction for autographs is limited to residents of Japan. The museum's website states that bidders must provide proof of identification. Examples listed include a driver's license, my number card, passport, health insurance card, and resident registration card. While it's possible to get a driver's license or passport from your country of residence or origin (for passports), my number cards and resident registration cards are only issued in Japan. It would be a shame if the auction was limited to Japanese residents, given the number of manga fans around the world.
