Hundreds of laughing blossoms crowd the sheet edge to edge, golden yellows dominating, and between them, once the eye adjusts, pale skulls appear with hollow eyes. The mood is celebratory and elegiac at the same time, a field of flowers laid for someone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMurakami returns again and again to this pairing of flowers and skulls, drawn from the Buddhist sense of the passing world and the Western still life memento mori. Here the cold stamp lends the yellows a metallic glint, so the sheet seems to catch light like a gilded screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print is offered as signed, as the description states, with the edition given as 300.
