In this composition they fill the image to every edge with no ground left showing, a crowd of blossoms in crimson, cobalt, sky blue, lemon, violet, pink and white, each face a little different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title borrows a phrase long used for a remote island paradise, and the print reads like a meadow in that light: dense and cheerful, yet balanced so the large white and blue flowers anchor the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilkscreen lays each colour down as its own flat, saturated layer, which gives Murakami's editions their crisp edges.
