April 2, from 4pm to 7pm
Concept
Skull Imari
Naoki Sakai is a world-renowned conceptor who has been involved in the concept, design, and marketing of numerous products and services, from automobiles to art.
The “Skull Imari” is a unique porcelain artwork that combines the “skull” depicted in Ukiyoe and Tatoos with the traditional Japanese pottery brand “Imari”.
In fact, this work seems to be in bad taste when seen by Japanese, but how would people around the world see it?
Anyway, we hope you enjoy the prank.
