Casa Brutus #288 - Takashi Murakami Mononoke Kyoto

Takashi Murakami's large-scale solo exhibition, which has been a huge hit since its opening, is currently being held at the Kyocera Museum of Art, Kyoto.

Murakami, who studied Japanese painting at university and was greatly influenced by the painters of the Edo period, faced the city and history of Kyoto with the theme of the exhibition, ``Mononoke.'' On the surface, Kyoto has an image of glamor and elegance, but there are many "otherworldly" spots that have been passed down since ancient times.

From the surprising picture combinations that challenged the eccentric artists of the Edo period to Murakami's version of ``Heiankyo,'' which depicts the four gods of Kyoto (Seiryu, Byakko, Suzaku, and Genbu). Using Murakami's works as clues, we will guide you to the deep world of Kyoto!
