Takashi Murakami: Rainforest Camo Tote Bag
Artwork © 2018 Takashi Murakami/Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd. All rights reserved
This tote bag features Takashi Murakami’s skull drawings overlaid on a green-and-beige camouflage pattern with contrasting handles. The bag includes a metal key ring featuring the artist’s iconic flower motif made of rubber in corresponding green colors.
An eternal motif in the history of art and pop culture, the skull has been used by Murakami throughout his career as a reminder of the fragile vibrancy of life and the inexorable passing of time. The camouflage recalls the artist’s early Polyrhythm works, which explore the complex relationship between Japan and the United States in the aftermath of World War II.
