Superflat or the hybrid character of Japanese culture according to Takashi Murakami
Keywords:

Abstract
This paper proposes an insight into the initial years in Takashi Murakami’s career, up to the year 2000 when the artist defined a new art movement, named Superflat. In this initial stage, we see how the artist aims to reveal the hybrid character of Japanese contemporary culture, seen especially in nihonga painting and Japanese popular culture, two elements that had a definitive influence in the configuration of the artist’s artistic language.Downloads
