The 500 Arhats consists of four sections named after the legendary Chinese guardians of the four celestial directions
(blue dragon – east, white tiger – west, red bird – south, black tortoise – north).
A milestone in Takashi Murakami’s career, the piece tackles the topics of religion,
mortality and limitations, interpreted through his unique and vibrant style. – Widewalls.ch
