The character is Murakami's first and most constant invention, part mouse, part self-portrait, and the Original Blue version is the one from which the later variations depart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe museum crops the painting to a near square and floats it on a broad white margin, with only its name in small type beneath. That restraint suits the subject, which needs nothing added.
