Gerotan: Scorched by the Blaze in the Purgatory of Knowledge (2018).The main essay by Ed Schad is presented along with studio photography, archival material and illuminating illustrations of Murakami works from around Los Angeles and the world.

Originario de la prefectura de Osaka, Takashi Murakami debutó con un one-shot en la Young Jump de Shueisha en 1985 cuando todavía cursaba en la Universidad de Tokio. Posteriormente, publicó varias historias cortas, todas ellas ambientadas en la comedia, hasta que en el 2000 llegó su primer éxito: Paji. Esta también marcó un punto de inflexión en su carrera al adentrarse en el terreno en el drama del slice of life. La obra publicada en la Young Jump contó con 9 tomos y recibió el premio de la Excelencia del Japan Media Arts Festival.

Aunque también siguió publicando comedias, es sobre todo sus dramas realistas los que más éxito tienen. Como es el caso de El pájaro azul, El perro enamorado de las estrellas y ¡Kota, ven!
