US EditionJapanese Artist Takashi Murakami Opens Exhibit at Cleveland Museum of Art with More than 100 Works
- On May 15, 2025, Takashi Murakami launched his exhibit "Stepping on the Tail of a Rainbow," showcasing over 100 pieces, at a major art museum in Cleveland.
- This exhibit updates a prior presentation first shown in Los Angeles and reflects Murakami's intention to layer light-hearted themes with historical trauma.
- Before reaching the exhibit on the museum's lower floor, visitors pass inside a recreated octagonal structure modeled after the Yumedono at Horyuji Temple in Nara, Japan, which contains four new paintings produced between 2023 and 2025.
- Murakami's sculpture "Pom and Me" depicts himself and his dog half in anatomical form, interpreting his Western experience through Japanese identity amidst themes of trauma.
- The art engages with trauma linked to three Japanese historical events—the atomic bombings, the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, and the COVID-19 pandemic—and the exhibit runs until early September.
