Unframed and unused, on a 92 cm sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title calls up the korpokkur, the small folk of Ainu legend said to live beneath the leaves of the butterbur plant. Murakami gives them no figures at all. Instead the forest floor becomes a gridded, softly pixelated green, crossed by drifting tendrils and, at the left edge, columns of brushed calligraphy that belong to the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the centre the flowers press together into one dense sphere, each face grinning, the petals in candy pink, cobalt, butter yellow, lilac and near black. The print layers four process colours with an additional silver and a high gloss varnish, so the surface catches the light and the orb seems to sit slightly forward of its ground.\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 Korpokkur in the Forest\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 in four colours with additional silver and high gloss varnish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 (as stated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offered as hand-signed and numbered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheet size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 x 76.6 cm (36.2 x 30.2 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unframed sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kaikai Kiki (as stated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize as stated; please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 2 cm (0.5 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew and unused; kept flat as a sheet and never framed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTravels in the packing in which it was first delivered, as the previous owner describes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe photograph shows the full image; every photograph is part of the description.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eS (unused)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/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\u003eThe edition, the signature and the Kaikai Kiki origin are as the previous owner states them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrame behind UV-filtering glazing, out of direct sun, and keep away from damp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDelivery from Japan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sheet travels flat between rigid boards, never rolled.
