Takashi Murakami uses his art to interpret historical events and their lasting effects, such as the end of World War II, the 2011 T\u014dhoku earthquake and tsunami, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Visitors can explore how\u2014after shared traumatic events\u2014art can address crisis, healing, outrage, and escapist fantasy. Artworks explore topics such as how people may change when experiencing trauma, how major disasters can lead to outpourings of creative and religious fervor, and how art addressing contemporary passions as diverse as gaming, the metaverse, trading cards, street fashion trends, anime, and manga can be an entry point to engaging the past. The centerpiece of the exhibition is the re-creation of the Yumedono, or Dream Hall, from Nara Prefecture\u2019s H\u014dry\u016bji Temple complex in the Ames Family Atrium. The Yumedono is believed to occupy the same location as the home of Prince Sh\u014dtoku Taishi, who converted his father, Emperor Y\u014dmei, to Buddhism in the late 500s CE by calling for Buddha to cure the emperor of an illness. Upon the emperor\u2019s recovery, Buddhism was allowed formally into Japan. To this day, the Yumedono houses the Kuse Kannon (a likeness of Prince Sh\u014dtoku), which is believed to have the power to save people from suffering. Originating at the Broad in Los Angeles, Takashi Murakami: Stepping on the Tail of a Rainbow is presented with expanded scope at the CMA. Starting on Friday, May 30, docents are available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. throughout the exhibition to answer questions and provide background information on the artworks. This service is free to all visitors in the exhibition.\"},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.1stdibs.com\\\/blogs\\\/the-study\\\/on-our-radar-may-20\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.1stdibs.com\\\/blogs\\\/the-study\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"On Our Radar: A Murakami Show, a Carrie Bradshaw Moment and More\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.1stdibs.com\\\/blogs\\\/the-study\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.1stdibs.com\\\/blogs\\\/the-study\\\/\",\"name\":\"The Study\",\"description\":\"1stDibs Blog about antique and modern furniture, jewelry, fashion &amp;

Takashi Murakami uses his art to interpret historical events and their lasting effects, such as the end of World War II, the 2011 T\u014dhoku earthquake and tsunami, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Visitors can explore how\u2014after shared traumatic events\u2014art can address crisis, healing, outrage, and escapist fantasy. Artworks explore topics such as how people may change when experiencing trauma, how major disasters can lead to outpourings of creative and religious fervor, and how art addressing contemporary passions as diverse as gaming, the metaverse, trading cards, street fashion trends, anime, and manga can be an entry point to engaging the past. The centerpiece of the exhibition is the re-creation of the Yumedono, or Dream Hall, from Nara Prefecture\u2019s H\u014dry\u016bji Temple complex in the Ames Family Atrium. The Yumedono is believed to occupy the same location as the home of Prince Sh\u014dtoku Taishi, who converted his father, Emperor Y\u014dmei, to Buddhism in the late 500s CE by calling for Buddha to cure the emperor of an illness. Upon the emperor\u2019s recovery, Buddhism was allowed formally into Japan. To this day, the Yumedono houses the Kuse Kannon (a likeness of Prince Sh\u014dtoku), which is believed to have the power to save people from suffering. Originating at the Broad in Los Angeles, Takashi Murakami: Stepping on the Tail of a Rainbow is presented with expanded scope at the CMA. Starting on Friday, May 30, docents are available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. throughout the exhibition to answer questions and provide background information on the artworks.
