Spring Comes Home to Aomori
Nara chose a calm, watchful girl for the show that brought him back to his birthplace. The poster keeps the soft, veiled surface of the painting and frames it with the tour title. It pairs naturally with the Yokohama poster of the same year.
Best for: Nara collectors and first-time buyers of museum exhibition posters

Miss Spring, Yoshitomo Nara’s 2012 painting, on the poster for his homecoming exhibition at the Aomori Museum of Art.
The Piece
A girl with a russet bob and glinting, mismatched eyes looks straight out from a soft pink ground, her dress dissolving into a patchwork of lilac, green and gold. Pale blue lettering, NARA Yoshitomo: a bit like you and me..., runs down the left edge, with the dates and museum along the foot.
The exhibition opened in Yokohama in the summer of 2012 and travelled north to Aomori, the prefecture where Nara was born and raised, from 6 October 2012 to 14 January 2013. Each venue gave the show its own image, and Aomori chose Miss Spring, so this B2 sheet is the record of the homecoming leg and a companion to the Yokohama poster.
