D'antsing Straw...what? Strawhats, ya Zero/Dragone d'antsir, ya cookie mumstir, err, monster!
And now I'm Strawhats. This time I don't sing, I d'ants. Without a mom and a daughter. With a strawberry on top. Your dragon kimono & my asshat bind us flowral undies/panties.
Incredible, I’m back! Back from the tropeecal rainforest up here I occasionanally venture deep into. I’m choor ya missed me, thank ya. No? Whatdya mean by this uncumvee-n-c-ing no? I can’t dick, err, dig ya pro-pear-lee, never mind. I’m back to my black jaguarse poolio to restore my hot smartass from the chilling dumbass wallowing in the Caribbean coast wilderness, where Cacaopera, Ocanxiu, Miskitu, Sumu, and Rama d’ants, pose wordless, live and die.
Origianally, nachoorally, my good or bust intention was, dead I wanted to go A ROma to get a romantic lover therapy, yet butter alive than dead, ya know. Ahem, Rome where strangerous people mate roma-ntically, but things went terrorifically, err, terrifically, I oper(r)atically mean terribly wong, cacao, hardcore coo coo on the duo danger level and I ended up kissing somebody’s sweet & sweaty ass on the Atlantic toast of the indigenous country, err, on the Indian Ocean, Nicaragua that is. Unfortunately, all the plane tickets sold out. Unbeeleevable, I made it back, back from the jungle to the civilization, kinda saving my ass and hat. R ya choor I’m an asshat and wear a dragone kimono, do ya really know? ‘Cause I saw and didn’t die, at least not dead much, though I saw your Vee H ASS tape, ARO, Ma!
L ARO, The Ring of my Spainish in your ass, err, in the Spainish of my ass, is a scary t-error moovee that didn’t spook me at all, though the brilliant ID ya was bury bury phine, “BEFORE YOU DIE, YOU SEE”, cummon seance, ma, ARO, ma! See, AROMA baby, that’s why I preferred going AROMA, I would have met an AROMA babe who almost sold me out in Rome! Invisibly, how she would give me blew lashes disscunts on her guru pro-duck-ts that I see as my obituary! And she would have been dressed as an XXXtree-me-lee beautiful Yapaknees geisha sitting on the must cumfortable chair there is in the hole woold, ahem, me, in a drag-one dragone dragon kimono and an asshat she had gravefully, gracefully, graciously, gracefoolly or gracewooly stolen from some body called meh meh.
Ah, she’s so in-spy-rational, man, she duda doubt just blows me away, back towards the black jaguarse! I would have dated even her ring, AROMA geisha! Dead I alwass somehow respond, s-pontaneous-lee. Bu bu butt ass ya know, geishas R hilee s-killed Yapaknees feemail enterstainers who’re trained in a va-riot-y of trad’tionanal farts, inclueding dang dong d’ants, musick, and cum-ver-sation. Yeah, not much in Rome, though, ya know.
They R known for their elegant attire, e-libor-ate makeup, and reaphined 8 manners. Whylee of10 ass-oh-ciated with entertainment, geishas R NOT, pity pity please, courteseance and do nut engage in pro-s-ta-te-tí-to-tú-tion. Zorry, I cunt cum across the rite spelling. Me hopee ya don’t min-d, ARO ma, oopsee.
A typeecal seance involves at least two people sitting around a table by candlelite, sometimes inclueding dang dong a me-di-um who c-lay-ms an abeeleetea to cummukneecate with spee-wits and re-lay messages to their loved ones. In Frynch, séance means "a sitting," and it's of10 simpeelee used to mean "a session," like une séance de cinéma, "a moovee session." Like L ARO, ma, for sheer terror XXXample, without holding hands!
Beelee-ver-s ass-err-t dead cummukneecation has been esta-blis-s-hed vee-hen a di-s-embodied voice is heard, or a voice s-peaks through the hurt me-di-um, or a ghostlee apparition appee-rs.

Takashi Murakami
• Born 1 February, 1962
• Renowned for various character works such as Kaikai, Kiki, Mr. DOB, and the Murakami Flower
• Has collaborated with numerous artists, brands, and institutions, including Louis Vuitton, and Kanye West
Takashi Murakami Flower
The Murakami Flower, a vibrant symbol of both joy and hidden pain, emerged from his studies in traditional Japanese painting, Nihonga. Inspired by the delicate floral depictions in this ancient art form, Murakami infused his work with contemporary pop culture elements, creating a unique blend of high and low aesthetics.
The smiling flowers often represent the resilience of the human spirit, particularly in the context of historical traumas like the atomic bombings of Japan. This fusion of tradition and modernity has solidified the Murakami Flower as a powerful and enduring symbol in contemporary art.
A Deeper Dive into the Murakami Flower’s Influence
The Murakami Flower’s impact extends far beyond its initial appearance in visual art. Its vibrant colors and playful forms have resonated with audiences across various creative fields, leaving an indelible mark on popular culture.
In the realm of music, the flower has become a recognizable symbol, appearing in music videos, album covers, and merchandise. For instance, Billie Eilish’s “You Should See Me In A Crown” features the flower prominently, adding a whimsical and surreal element to the video’s aesthetic.
Similarly, the K-pop girl group NewJeans incorporates the flower into their concept for the album Supernatural and the track “Right Now”, using it to symbolize a fantastical world.
Beyond music, the Murakami Flower has also made a significant impact on the fashion industry. Designers have embraced the Flower’s unique appeal, incorporating it into a wide range of products, from jewelry and watches to bags and clothing.
One notable collaboration was between Takashi Murakami and Virgil Abloh, resulting in a series of paintings, sculptures, prints, t-shirts, and a leather tote bag. This partnership showcased the Flower’s versatility and ability to seamlessly blend with different artistic styles.
Another iconic collaboration was Murakami’s work with the beloved Japanese cartoon character, Doraemon. The partnership, which began in 2002, has resulted in a wide range of products and projects, including one with fast fashion brand Uniqlo.
Murakami’s signature style, characterized by bright colors and whimsical figures, has been seamlessly integrated with Doraemon’s classic design. Together, they have created a new visual language that has captivated fans of both artists.
The Doraemon collaboration has not only broadened Murakami’s reach but has also introduced a new generation to his work. By combining the familiarity of a beloved childhood character with Murakami’s innovative and playful aesthetic, the partnership has created a unique and enduring cultural phenomenon.
2024 and Beyond: Murakami’s Floral Empire
In recent times, the Murakami Flower has been blooming with exciting projects. A notable development is the its entrance into the TCG world with the release of the “108 Flowers” set. This expands on the Murakami.Flowers NFT project, which, though launched in 2022 and impacted by the crypto-downturn, has slowly been regaining momentum.
Additionally, Murakami has introduced various physical experiences. Mononoke Kyoto, a large-scale exhibition at the Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art, features a curated selection of his most celebrated pieces, offering visitors a comprehensive overview of his artistic journey.
The Kaikai Kiki Card Festa 2024, a TCG-themed event, further bolsters the Flower’s presence with interactive programs, including card tournaments, talk sessions, and exclusive merch releases.
Less needs to be said about Murakami’s collaborative efforts in 2024. Partnerships with K-pop girl groups NewJeans and BLACKPINK, as well as the formation of a music duo, MNNK Bro., with Japanese hip-hop artist JP THE WAVY, demonstrate the artist’s constant evolution and creative drive.
