One Plate, from We Are The Square Jocular Clan

Murakami bridges the gap between Fine Art and Pop Art by uniting elements of Japanese anime and manga with traditional Japanese nihonga and Ukiyo-e woodcuts. Murakami's 'Jocular Clan' series displays his characteristic ‘Superflat’, colourful 2D style. It is a playful collection of Japanese inspired, cartoon-like characters who certainly live up to their clan's cheerful name - the word 'jocular' is used to describe someone who is happy and likes to make jokes.
