This is said to be the piece bought by the very first customer, who had lined up before the doors opened on day one. Apparently it’s the artist’s own favorite work, too.

It’s still early in the run, but roughly 50% of the works have already sold.

 

The small pieces are priced at just under 150,000 yen—pleasantly affordable.
