Murakami’s fascination with skulls and grotesque kawaii feels to me like a really snarky read directed at Japan. The kawaii aesthetic here is applied to virtually everything here, even if it’s totally unnecessary. By that logic, even death should be cute- intergalatic monsters should be cute- the moon as represented by skulls needs to be cute (3rd picture down). Murakami isn’t Warhol but he has a similar idea- he’s taking things that Japanese people are familiar with and turning them inside-out and in the process revealing what’s inside and what that says about their culture.
