Thanks for the info but I am rather sure on there origin

From what I can discern on the two or three Japanese websites I've found that actually described these, they were only available for purchase at the 2nd Assassin's Creed Art Exhibition in Tokyo, not the game show.

Unless someone has anything that actually says they were available at the game show?

The 2nd Art Exhibition only ran from Jan. 6 - 17 of this year so while I don't think they're necessarily super rare. I do think someone would be very hard pressed to find these for sale in Japan, let alone outside of it. The 3 concept art folders are easier to get from what I've seen but the original works from Japanese artists are much harder to find.

There even avalable for free from tokyo game show. I have asked enough Japanese people to know that there so so durt common there there at tokyo game shows an verrious other promotions around tokyo to sell there next big game. The ones from tokyo game show might just have differnt art work perhapps but any big outlet and way to get the word out they have theres and hundreds other items you would be suprised to see. You will find they do a lot more of these for non Japanese game as they try much harder to sell non Japanese games to Japanese people but 90% of the time JApanese do not care and just throw these things away.

Do you also have pictures of any of the folders that were available at the tokyo game show?

I know for a fact that the 8 originals I have were sold at the art exhibition, not given away.

Again I found it very difficult to determine how common they were/are both inside and outside japan.

I'm interested in my 8 folders which I really do believe were exclusive to the art exhibition
