Description:

Yoshitomo Nara’s Punk Ebizo, “In the Floating World” (1999) is a rare limited-edition Xerox print that encapsulates the artist’s rebellious yet introspective visual language. Executed in an edition of only 50, this early work reflects Nara’s fascination with youth culture, isolation, and the quiet defiance that has defined his oeuvre.

Printed using Fuji Xerox technology, the piece bridges fine art and reproduction, embracing imperfection and immediacy — qualities that mirror the artist’s punk-influenced aesthetic and DIY spirit. The composition features one of Nara’s emblematic childlike figures, rendered with expressive simplicity and emotional depth, evoking themes of innocence and resistance.

Each print is hand-signed, numbered, and dated in pencil by the artist. Works from this period are highly sought after, representing the emergence of Nara’s global influence and the crystallization of his signature style. This edition, preserved in mint condition, stands as a collector’s gem from the late 1990s Japanese contemporary art scene.
