A new Takashi Murakami work, ‘Hiroshige's 100 Famous Views of Edo—Japonisme Reconsidered—Tile Kilns and Hashiba Ferry, Sumida River (Birds, Kaikai Kiki)’, has been listed for sale as a screen print on paper priced at €11,660. The announcement was circulated on August 23, 2026, describing the work as the latest piece by the Japanese artist to become available through the online marketplace.
The print measures 42 × 29 centimetres. The listing identifies its medium as screen printing on paper, while the associated artist page describes Murakami as a painter from Japan. No exhibition, public presentation or institutional acquisition is attached to the release, and the available material does not provide an edition number, production date or further technical information about the print.
The work’s title places it within Murakami’s ‘Japonisme Reconsidered’ series, which draws its naming structure from Utagawa Hiroshige’s ‘One Hundred Famous Views of Edo’. The specific title refers to ‘Tile Kilns and Hashiba Ferry, Sumida River’, while adding ‘Birds’ and ‘Kaikai Kiki’. Those terms are part of the listing’s official title; the supplied material does not include a curatorial statement explaining the relationship between Hiroshige’s historical view and Murakami’s reinterpretation.
Murakami’s listing appears alongside other works attributed to him on the same online platform. These include ‘DOB-KUN (Red)’, a plastic work measuring 18 × 22 × 13 centimetres, as well as additional screen prints from the ‘Japonisme Reconsidered’ group. Among the related titles are ‘Ryōgoku Ekōin and Moto-Yanagibashi Bridge’, ‘Armor-Hanging Pine, Hakkeizaka (Tree, Flower Child, Kaikai Kiki)’, ‘Ueno Yamashita (Market, Kaikai Kiki)’ and ‘Benkei Moat from Soto-Sakurada to Kōjimachi (Kaikai Kiki)’. Each of those works is listed at approximately the same 42 × 29-centimetre format.
The platform’s wider “famous artists” catalogue displays the Murakami print at DKK 84,700, while the release sent to subscribers gives the price in euros. The source material does not explain the currency difference or indicate whether the two listings represent different sales channels, price updates or regional storefronts. The email promotes global delivery, 30-day returns and certificates of authenticity as general buyer services, but does not provide work-specific provenance or condition details.
The announcement is therefore a sales release rather than news of a gallery exhibition or museum event. The work remains identified by its full title, 42 × 29-centimetre dimensions and screen-print-on-paper medium, with the advertised euro price set at €11,660.
