The shirt puts Murakami's Rakuchū-Rakugai-zu Byōbu: Iwasa Matabei RIP, 2023–24 in the spotlight and has an almost camouflage effect from afar. It's only on closer inspection that that Japanese landscape illustration is revealed alongside the artist's [signature flower motif](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-bloom-capsule). The shirt is limited to just 200 examples and will come with a Murakami.Flowers Collectible Lucky Cat trading card that comes in one of 11 designs with three of which being designated as ultra-rare. The Takashi Murakami tee will be available for purchase starting December 10, 2024 on a first-come-first-served basis.
