In the episode "Lingering by the Water's Edge," protagonists Hikari and Takeru take a camping trip in the mountains at Shaft (the studio responsible for the animation of the series.)  The episode highlights Hikari's development with more humanistic traits despite being the Goddess of Death and Destruction.  We see how  she is affected emotionally by taking human form.  This production sketch set features her expression of 'elation'  when she steps into a pond and senses the water covering her feet for the first time.  Her reactions are childlike and precious to Takeru.  Later episodes focus on Hikari contemplating on her own 'Nature' versus 'Nuture.'  She is the causation of the world's destruction but her new-found human desires create internal strife between her role and responsibilities.  Takeru is unaware of this conflict due to his own feelings of selfishness and wont for Hikari.  


This studio production sketch and correction sheet are in excellent condition.  There is no foxing. Both are hand-drawn.
