Japanese pop artist Takashi Murakami announced today that he plans to launch his collectible trading cards, 108 Flowers Revised, as NFTs.
“My collectible trading cards — inspired by my physical works — are now onchain,” Murakami said in an X post Wednesday, adding that it will be available for minting on the Base application. Minting is set to begin on July 31.
Murakami is known for his “Superflat” style, featuring smiling flowers and bold colors, with inspiration from pop culture, anime, manga and consumerism. He has previously collaborated with brands such as Louis Vuitton, Supreme and Vans, and various musical acts including Billie Eilish and New Jeans.
The artist has ventured into the NFT space since the 2021 boom, launching his own NFT line Murakami.Flowers on Ethereum. Murakami also collaborated with Nike’s now-scrapped NFT project RTFKT.
The NFT market recently saw a surge in market capitalization, likely benefiting from the broader crypto market rally that has gone on for weeks. The total NFT market cap currently stands at around $6 billion, with a recent peak being above $6.6 billion on July 22. This is significantly higher than April’s $3 billion and the highest level since January, according to Coingecko data.
“The NFT markets gain momentum from the bullish trend and increased risk-on sentiment,” LVRG Research Director Nick Ruck previously told The Block.
