Superflat was the first of three related exhibitions curated by Takashi Mur akami exploring his theory of art. Murakami coined the titular term to disc uss a lineage of Japanese visual culture from sixteenth-century painting an d nineteenth-century woodblock prints to contemporary comics, animation, pa inting, sculpture, photography, fashion, and other art forms. These works a re united by their emphasis on planarity and a distribution of visual eleme nts across their compositions, rather than perspectival depth. The bilingual (English/Japanese) catalogue features extensive text by Murakami about Superflat and its historical context. The books distinctive structure juxtaposes works across time and mediums, with entries by Murakami introducing the artists of the exhibition, along with an essay by philosopher Hiroki Azuma that examines the Superflat concept in relation to Murakamis own work. Featured artists include Murakami, Chiho Aoshima, Bome, Enlightenment (Hiro Sugiyama), groovisions, Yoshinori Kanada, Henmaru Machino, Koji Morimoto, Mr., Katsushige Nakahashi, Yoshitomo Nara, Shigeyoshi Ohi, Masafumi Sanai, SLEEP, Chikashi Suzuki, Aya Takano, Kentaro Takekuma, Hitoshi Tomizawa, and 2047112.
