Takashi Murakami: Lineage of Eccentrics

Takashi Murakami’s irreverent, pop culture–infused art has made him one of the most recognised Japanese artists today. His bright, contemporary boisterousness, however, belies his deep scholarship and engagement with traditional Japanese art. This title presents key examples of Murakami’s work alongside a rich selection of Japanese masterpieces spanning several centuries and arranged here according to concepts laid out by his mentor and foil, leading Japanese art historian Nobuo Tsuji.
