In this lively exchange between art historian Nobuo Tsuji and artist Takashi Murakami, two generations of Japanese thinkers meet across time and tradition. Battle Royale! bridges Edo-period aesthetics and contemporary Superflat ideas through essays, illustrations, and spirited debate.
Together, Tsuji and Murakami trace how centuries of Japanese art, from screen paintings to anime, continue to shape modern visual culture. Scholarly yet playful, this book offers rare insight into the creative forces behind Murakami’s practice and Japan’s enduring artistic evolution.
