"Flower Parent and Child" is an offset lithograph with cold stamp created by Takashi Murakami in 2021. From the edition of 300, the artwork is signed and annotated lower right. The image size is 30 x 24.12". The artwork ships framed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

Takashi Murakami’s "Flower Parent and Child" graphics grew out of one of his most visible public projects of the pandemic era: the monumental gold sculpture installed at Roppongi Hills, Tokyo, in 2020–21. Created when cities were still shaped by COVID-19 restrictions and uncertainty, the work transformed Murakami’s famous smiling flower into a tender parent-and-child figure, offering an image of protection, continuity and hope.

At around ten metres high, the original sculpture stood in the open plaza at Roppongi Hills, where its gleaming gold surface made it appear both celebratory and reassuring. The surrounding project extended Murakami’s visual world into the everyday life of the district, connecting public art, popular culture and shared urban experience at a moment when collective optimism felt especially necessary.

These prints translate that public monument into an intimate, collectible format. Their bright color, metallic effects and playful graphic energy preserve the joyful spirit of the sculpture while emphasizing its emotional subject: a parent sheltering and accompanying a child. In this series, Murakami’s flower is not only an icon of pop abundance, but also a symbol of resilience, care and renewal.

About the Work

About the Artist

Takashi Murakami (b.1962) trained in Nihonga at Tokyo University of the Arts (PhD, 1993). Around 2000 he introduced Superflat, his influential theory linking the planar aesthetics of Japanese art—from Edo screens to manga—to postwar consumer culture. His work has been the subject of major surveys including “©MURAKAMI” (MOCA LA; Brooklyn Museum; MMK Frankfurt; Guggenheim Bilbao, 2007–09), “Lineage of Eccentrics” (MFA Boston, 2017–18), and “Stepping on the Tail of a Rainbow” (The Broad, 2022; Cleveland Museum of Art, 2025). He founded Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd., a studio-publisher that sustains his large-scale paintings and sculptures and a globally collected print program spanning silkscreens, archival pigment works, and offset lithographs, often enhanced with metallic foils and high-gloss varnishes. Murakami describes his practice as a continual “backcrossing” of historical and pop vocabularies, an art of joyful surfaces and complex memory.

Your artwork comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (or Letter of Authenticity), professional packaging, and insured delivery.

How is the artwork shipped?

We ship fully insured, using trusted carriers. Each piece is professionally packed to ensure safe arrival. Shipping times vary based on the location of the art, its destination, and whether or not it is framed (ready to ship) at the time of your purchase.

Do you frame the artwork?

All our works come beautifully framed. Some print multiples may have framing options if we have unframed editions available in our warehouse. Our in-house framing provides high-quality moulding, acid-free materials and either UV plexiglass or framer’s grade acrylic. High value works may be framed in custom, closed-corner frames, and are often framed in Optium museum glass for enhanced clarity.

To ensure that appraisals are fully independent and unbiased, it is best practice for them to be carried out by certified appraisers who have not had prior involvement with the sale or handling of the artwork.
