Takashi Murakami (1962) Extremely rare collectible textile piece from the historic 2001 mushroom series by contemporary artist Takashi Murakami. The piece features the iconic anthropomorphic multi eyed mushrooms printed in a deep dark blue on white fabric. This item is highly sought after by art collectors because it belongs to the exact transitional phase of the artist studio showing both the Kaikai Kiki and the original Hiropon Factory logos printed in original traditional writing on the bottom corner. The vertical text printed in the bottom left corner is divided into two lines and features both names. The first line reads Kaikai Kiki, and the second line reads Hiropon Factory. Hiropon Factory was the official name of Takashi Murakami's studio from 1996 until 2001, when it was renamed Kaikai Kiki. Since this tenugui was produced exactly in 2001 during this transition period, it exceptionally features both historic studio marks on the fabric. The copyright text confirms the official production year as 2001 which makes it a true archive item from Murakamis most influential early international period It is made of high quality traditional The condition is pristine and deadstock with bright dark blue ink and perfectly clean white background showing only the original storage fold lines and no yellowing or stains It has been carefully stored over the last twenty five years and is ideal for custom framing under UV glass as a textile art print Will be shipped protected with tracking infiemations
