About the artwork

In this Doraemon’s series, Murakami renders a comical scene of Doraemon and friends. Here, Doraemon’s backside is composed of more Doraemon characters to demonstrate whimsy and fun. It is the repetitive motif of Doraemon’s character that reinforces a comical narrative, a reflection to the joy Doraemon brings to his people.

He coined the term 'Superflat' to define his vibrant, boundary-blurring aesthetic, reflecting both traditional Japanese art and the complexities of post-war Japanese society.
