The flowing linework of the water recalls Korin's famous wave patterns, while the flowers carry Murakami's own faces, eyes wide and mouths open in a grin. Bands of metallic gold, pools of halftone dots and flat fields of black and red layer the surface the way gold leaf and pigment layer a folding screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print combines four-colour offset with a cold stamp metallic layer and high gloss varnish, so the surface shifts between matte and shine as the light moves. It is offered as signed, as the description states, with the edition given as 300. The sheet is described as acquired new from Kaikai Kiki and kept unframed in its original packaging, and it will be sent in that packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Takashi Murakami\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Korin: Courtly Elegance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offset print with cold stamp and high gloss varnish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300, as described\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offered as signed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72 x 76.3 cm (28.3 x 30 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unframed sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unused, kept in its original packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribed as new and unused, never framed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKept flat as a sheet in the packaging it was issued in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eS (unused, as new)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/de\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSignature and edition are given as the description states them.
