In the years after the 2011 earthquake his work turned toward Buddhist ideas of life, death and rebirth, and the title of this print speaks to that turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere DOB multiplies into a constellation of floating heads, some grinning with rows of teeth, some wide-eyed, rendered in candy pinks, purples, yellows and black, with a red tongue of a creature winding through the centre. The heads hang on a pale chequered ground like planets, and the cold-stamp foil lifts parts of the image with a metallic sheen that changes as you move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sheet measures 68 x 68 cm (26.8 x 26.8 in) and belongs to the signed and numbered edition of 300, published by Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd., the studio Murakami founded in 2001. Cold-stamp foil is laid as a metallic film rather than mixed as an ink, so the sheen shifts as the light moves across the heads. The photographs are reference images of the print.\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 (born Tokyo, 1962)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e This World and the World Beyond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four-colour offset with cold-stamp foil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300, signed and numbered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e 68 x 68 cm (26.8 x 26.8 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee.
