Key Insights

• Murakami.Flowers is an NFT collection launched by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. It consists of 11,664 flowers with different backgrounds, colors, and patterns.
• The current Murakami Flowers NFT evolved from Murakami.Flowers NFT launched in March 2021, but the project at that time was stopped by Murakami before the auction was successful.
• At present, there are 5615 holders of Murakami Flowers. On June 14, the project airdropped a new NFT to the holders, named Murakami Lucky Cat.
• Thanks to Murakami’s hype and the power of Murakami Lucky Cat airdrop, as of June 20, the value of Murakami’s flower market had reached 49.33 million, and the 24-hour trading volume had reached 119,000 US dollars.
• Artist Takashi Murakami is 60 years old this year, but he is active in NFTs. In addition to Murakami Flowers’ NFT, whose copyright completely belongs to the author, Clone X NFT, which he cooperates with RTFKT, a well-known NFT brand, is also a blue-chip project.

The above picture shows the metaverse worldview designed by the famous Japanese artist Takashi Murakami.

What Murakami wants to reproduce is the landscape of cherry blossoms at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan. In this setting, a fantasy picture of the future virtual space is defined by the Mount Fuji meme, iconic Japanese buildings, and the colored sunflowers.

This picture comes from the roadmap of Takashi Murakami’s NFT project Takashi Murakami. Recently, this project created and initiated by artists has again attracted people’s attention due to “apology” and “airdrop.”

Are NFTs released by modern art masters attractive enough? Is the metaverse full of artistic conception and IPs worth entering? Can Murakami flowers develop into the next blue-chip project under the fame and medium price?

About Murakami Flowers, You Need to Know This

There is no doubt that Murakami.Flowers came from the creation of Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. Inspired by 108 kinds of troubles in Buddhism, he combined 108 kinds of backgrounds and flower colors with 108 kinds of flower patterns to form 11,664 Murakami.Flowers NFTs.

Before Flowers became a “flower”, seed distribution was launched, and seeds can be cultivated into Murakami.Flowers.

Murakami.Flowers’s distribution mechanism is also very interesting. It is distributed in 6 types:

• 3000 whitelists, which come from the holders of Murakami drip attribute NFT in CLONE X — X TAKASHI MURAKAMI under RTFKT;
• 78 Zen Number Proof. This is because there are 78 Zen numbers;
• 108 Bonnō Proof, 108 is used to describe 108 kinds of emotion in Buddhism;
• Murakami also reserved 500 NFTs for his related people, relatives, and friends, a total of 1000;
• The remaining 6,751 NFTs are open to public lottery and trading.

Due to the influence of Takashi Murakami in the art world, the Murakami.Flowers project attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was launched. At the same time, the “incubated” NFT — Murakami.Flowers seeds, the number of whitelist applicants exceeded 4.9 million, and the price reached an all-time high of about 10 ETH five days after-sales.

However, unlike most NFT projects, the commercial rights of Murakami.Flowers NFT still belongs to the creator Murakami himself due to Murakami’s fame.

This distinguishes Murakami.Flowers from the NFT project represented by Clone X — Murakami. Flowers is actually more like an art collection. The holder can enjoy and trade but does not have commercial rights to those flowers.

Will Murakami Lucky Cat Airdrop Be the First Step Towards Murakami’s Metaverse?

In Murakami.Flowers’s roadmap, the future of the metaverse is clearly planned. We can also see the colorful and rich metaverse in Murakami’s vision on the official website.

So how to expand the metaverse?

This is what many NFT projects are thinking about. For example, BAYC dropped the variant potion to OG holders and the land Otherdeed for Otherside, and included the NFT role of the BAYC projects.

What do Murakami.Flowers have?

On June 8, Murakami sent an apology on his Twitter: “Dear holders of Murakami.Flowers, I appreciate your continuing patronage, although the project’s floor price and transaction prices remain stagnant. I am very sorry.”

In fact, the price of Murakami.Flowers has entered a quiet period below the peak after the initial FOMO mood. This is not a good thing for the owners, but Takashi Murakami did not allow it to develop. On June 14, six days after the release of the apology, Takashi Murakami airdropped his second collection of NFT — Murakami Lucky Cat to the holders of Murakami.Flowers.

Flowers may not have much room for imagination, because for investors and speculators, Murakami.Flowers is an NFT collection worth collecting. The cute cat that appears in the metaverse of Takahara Murakami has greatly encouraged the holders — at least it has been proved that the OG holders of Murakami.Flowers will continue to be empowered.

We can see from the floor price changes of Murakami.Flowers that after June 14, there was a long lost peak.

However, at present, there is no accurate answer to the questions about the use of the Murakami Lucky Cat, how it will evolve in the future and what role it will play in the entire Murakami’s metaverse.

But in order to celebrate the success of the airdrop, Murakami.Flowers held a joint lottery on social media. The “next NFT collection” announced in the lottery also makes people look forward to the next development of the Murakami Takashi project.
