From Japan
With Love!

Superflat was born in Japan, thanks to the artistic genius Takashi Murakami. In the late 1990s, Murakami decided that art needed less depth and more punch. Combining traditional Japanese art with the loud, flashy world of anime and manga, he created Superflat—a style that’s flatter than the Earth according to some weird uncle on Facebook.

Murakami, The Master of Flat

Takashi Murakami is the mastermind behind this flat-out crazy movement. His works are like a sugar rush for your eyeballs, filled with bright colors, bold lines, and characters that look like they escaped from a Saturday morning cartoon. But don’t let the cutesy facade fool you—there’s a sharp critique of consumer culture hiding behind those giant anime eyes.

Flat Art Goes High Fashion

As Superflat caught on, it went from the galleries of Tokyo to the runways of Paris. Murakami’s collaboration with Louis Vuitton in 2002 brought Superflat into the world of high fashion, proving that even flat art can make your wallet a whole lot flatter. Suddenly, handbags became canvases, and Superflat was strutting down the catwalk, turning luxury goods into colorful, overpriced doodles.
