短冊型の新作版画「カイカイキキ 桜咲く」が、ふるさと納税特別仕様として登場いたします。
画面いっぱいに描かれた桜は、村上の作品の中でも人気の高いモチーフのひとつ。
満開の華やかさと、咲いてはすぐに散っていく儚さをあわせ持つ桜は、日本人の美意識を象徴する題材として、古くから"雪月花"のテーマの中でも愛され続けてきました。
そして下部にはそんな桜を、「カイカイ」と「キキ」がお花見をしているかのように並ぶことで、満開の桜がより一層華やかに、そして楽しげな一枚に仕上が��ています。

The new tanzaku-style print "Kaikai Kiki Cherry Blossoms in Bloom" is now available in a special edition exclusively offered through the Hometown Tax Donation program.
Filling the entire composition, cherry blossoms are one of the most beloved motifs in Murakami’s work. With both the splendor of full bloom and the fleeting beauty of blossoms that fall almost as soon as they open, cherry blossoms have long symbolized a distinctly Japanese sense of beauty. For centuries, they have also been cherished as the “flower” in the traditional theme of “snow, moon, and flowers.”
At the bottom of the composition, Kaikai and Kiki appear beneath the blossoms as if enjoying cherry blossom viewing. Their presence makes the scene of the cherry trees in full bloom feel even more vibrant, joyful, and celebratory.
