A locomotive out of the sun
Yokoo turns the rising-sun banner of his 1960s posters into a sunburst on canvas, with a black steam engine charging straight at the viewer. A blonde figure in red, a lotus, a skull and curling waves complete one of his favourite collisions of nostalgia, pop and dream.
Best for: Admirers of Tadanori Yokoo and Japanese pop graphics who want his imagery in daily use

A canvas tote from the collaboration between Tadanori Yokoo and the Japanese label Bohemians, its front printed with a black steam locomotive charging out of a turquoise and sand sunburst.
The Piece
Tadanori Yokoo, born in 1936, is the designer and painter whose 1960s posters fused the rising sun, Showa nostalgia and psychedelic colour. Rays of turquoise and sand fan out from a pale sun; a plume of cream and salmon smoke drifts across the sky; and below, a locomotive numbered C62 39 bears down on the viewer among a lotus, a small skull and a blonde figure in red. The printed signature T. Yokoo sits at the lower left.
The back is cut into bold chevrons of the same two colours, and curling blue waves run round the base gusset. A woven label inside reads Tadanori Yokoo and Bohemians, illustrated with one of the artist's drawings.
