The lineage of the "superflat" Murakami's vision of the Japanese aesthetic

Takashi Murakami's irreverent, pop culture-infused art has made him one of the most recognized Japanese artists today. His bright, contemporary boisterousness, however, belies his deep scholarship and engagement with traditional Japanese art. Takashi Murakami: Lineage of Eccentrics 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. These include works by Kawanabe Kyosai, Soga Shohaku, Kano Eino, Ito Jakuchu and Hishikawa Moronobu. Beautifully illustrated with Tsuji's selections from the peerless Japanese art collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, as well as some of the artist's best-known works of painting and sculpture, the combination of old and new in this groundbreaking volume enriches our understanding of each, and ultimately shows us how contemporary art can be seen as part of a continuum or lineage.

Takashi Murakami (born 1962) is an internationally acclaimed artist and the founder and president of Kaikai Kiki, an art production and management company based in Tokyo with a studio in New York City. He was the first person to earn a PhD in Nihonga--a form of Japanese paintings created using traditional materials and techniques--at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music. Over the last two decades, he has presented numerous exhibitions around the world, from Versailles to Qatar. His first major solo exhibition at a US museum was held in 2001 at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, titled Takashi Murakami: Made in Japan. Murakami is well known for his corporate branding projects with Louis Vuitton, VANS, shu uemura, Issey Miyake, Lucien Pellat-Finet, Roppongi Hills and ComplexCon, as well as collaborations with musicians such as Kanye West and Pharrell Williams. In 2008, he was selected as one of TIME magazine's "100 Most Influential People." More recently, he has been working on film and animation productions, releasing his first live-action film, Jellyfish Eyes, in 2013 and an animated television series, 6HP (Six Hearts Princess), in 2017.

Perfect Size for Work — Practical & Versatile
Color: B23- Nurse Black With Leopard Embroidery, Size: Large
Cute and fits everything I need for my home health job. It’s big enough to fit what I need without it being too much. I thought about not purchasing this, but I’m glad I did! Plus, if I ever change jobs, I can use it for something else making it versatile.

Nice bag, lots of pockets
I love the different sized pockets and the big ones in the middle. I also like that they are all zippered. I like the end pockets. Just the right size bag and the print is just as pretty as its picture!

Cloudmusic tote
Color: Blue Flowers in Black
I LOVE this bag! I bought it for use as a purse. I carry ALOT of stuff in my purse & after my Vera Bradley purse bit the dust, I couldn't find another one to replace it. This new purse is perfect! Nylon straps that aren't going to fray like the VB purse straps did,,, plenty of room for all my stuff,, infact more room than my old purse had. Made of nylon so it can be washed & the print is absolutely beautiful. I've already gotten many compliments on how pretty it is. It also came sooner than I was expecting it!
