The Aomori Museum of Art, which is close to Nara's birthplace, began collecting Yoshitomo Nara's works in 1998 and currently has approximately 180 works. It is the largest public collection of Nara's work in the world. The museum has followed Nara's activities over a long period of time through year-round exhibitions of its collection, special exhibitions and large-scale commission work. This exhibition and catalogue look back on the artist's activities over the 12 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake up to the present day and includes several outstanding works dating back to his student days.
