This first comprehensive monograph traces Murakami's global impact socially, culturally, and art historically. Essays focus on MurakamiÕs early works, which were based on a social critique of JapanÕs rampant consumerism; the development of his characters; his work with anime, fantasy; otaku culture; and his engagement with global pop culture. Representing output from original works of art to mass-produced multiples, the catalogue also considers the implications of MurakamiÕs working methods within the tradition of the Western avant-garde.
